Live your best life. Eat the donut.
The message of the day from Xander & Vance is to always remember to Treat Yoself
Life can get pretty crazy. It can feel overwhelming and also like such a damn grind sometimes. And when it starts to feel like that, it’s time to do something about it and literally carve out some time on your calendar for a recharge and/or #MommyTimeout.
Today I myself made time to talk to two of my bfs/rockstar working mamas, and I scheduled a massage and a coffee date with a girlfriend so that I have some confirmed me time on the good old gcal to look forward to.
Here are some things I consistently do to ensure that I’m making time for me in the madness, that you might consider doing too:
Schedule a time to call a good friend and catch up
Make a mani/pedi date
Schedule a spa service
Block out lunch and coffee date time on my work calendar with people who rock and who get me
Plan and prepare for a mental health day
Take myself out on a solo date for an impromptu coffee or lunch during the workday
Request and reserve a bottle of Champagne with my resident sommelier (husband), and pencil in calendar time to slow down enough to open, analyze and consume it
Make a connection with someone new, and take them out for coffee
Pick a day in the crazy workweek to surprise my family with an out-to-dinner date excursion
Go out of my way to procure and consume an epic *donut with my little people (*or insert alternative delicious/sinful treat here)
What do you do to recharge or to un-funk yourself, and to make sure you’re living your best life?
