My routine has been thrown slightly off-kilter throughout the past ten days. Weeks like these are bound to happen, especially now with all of the new stressors that lockdown has brought into our lives, so it’s important we keep strategies in mind to help us refocus during these unexpected times.


Life is always going to make its attempts to throw us off course, despite our best intentions to accomplish everything on our to-do list in a timely fashion. In this episode, I’ll be discussing how I personally cope with this issue, why having a more relaxed approach to my rules has been so beneficial, and why we should take time to celebrate our wins, rather than obsessing over what we haven’t accomplished.  


This is one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn and am still constantly working on. Practicing gratitude and acknowledgment of our achievements can be so difficult, particularly when we’ve told ourselves that it’s something we aren’t allowed to do. Though the road to self-love isn’t always an easy one and many roadblocks present themselves along the way, I can guarantee the outcome will be worth the struggle.
