A Different Kind of New Year's Message

What’s your sane list? 

Not the New Years email you expected to be receiving right?

​Truth is, I have been very challenged with adjusting to my more corporate America work from home job.  As I found myself saying to Addison one night at bedtime “we all have our stuff Addison.” 

So enough about my stuff, let’s think about our toolbox to keep ourselves sane when shit hits the fan, or the paper cuts start to add up. 

One tool of mine is a walk while listening to music, which is what I’m doing as I write this to take a break and gain perspective!

So my "Stay Sane" list:

• Change my environment, go for a walk/run, and breathe 
• Have a happy routine:  it was my pleasure to teach this morning to our Signature Program Fitness Inspirers. This helps me work through stressors and gives me a boost of endorphins and other happy hormones (our body makes on its own). 
• Talk to a trusted love one so I can verbally process haha (my apologies if you have ever been on the receiving end of this) 
• About a year and a half ago, I got serious about seeing a therapist to work through some things my body was holding onto
• Fresh air
• Hugs from my family

So we can build a life that improves our ability to be our best stuff, but when you are stressed in the moment, having a sane list toolbox may help us too!

What’s on your sane list?

Update: I feel better already. Exhaling longer. Hoping this can help one of you. Finding purpose in the challenge. Fresh air in my lungs and ready to get back

Sending you lots of love and grace while you tackle your new years intentions and goals!! I believe in you. I LOVE that I have had the pleasure of this Fitness Inspired community for 15 years now. Wow! Insanely grateful for each of you!!

You're A Star!
