2025
This is my year. I can feel it. I’m 37F with an almost 5yo & 2.5yo. I’ve struggled so much to find myself after my 2nd. I’ve felt knee deep in motherhood - maybe not the thick of it like when my 2nd was a baby but in really sludgy still thick mud. I love being a mom, a working mom, but it also takes a lot out of me.
I often come on here to vent about my husband. But now I just want to focus on me…bettering myself, finding my journey to me again.
- I lived in a city for close to 10yrs. I loved it. My favorite thing was all the fancy & boutique workout studios. Now i’ve been living in the suburbs for 6yo - I haven’t found the just right place. Then a new studio opened in my town. It’s beautiful and I love the way going there makes me feel. It brings back the best memories of the city life.
It’s expensive but for Christmas I asked for all gift cards to go. I’ve already been to 2 classes. My goal is to go 2x per week.
- Eat healthy. Omg, i’ve genuinely been eating like garbage for 6 months. Whenever i’m stressed at work I eat chewy candy. No more.
I will not let work stress or any stress do that to me.
Regular date nights with my husband. We did a day/night date night yesterday and it felt amazing to just be, not be talking or asking the other person to clean, do dishes, watch the kids.
Prioritize my mental health. Always take my anxiety meds and continue seeing my therapist 1x per month and more if needed.
Anyone with me?! Tell me what you’re doing!!
