Get Motivated and Take Care of You
You know the gyms are packed, everyone is trying to become a better fitness person this year. Everyone is trying to eat better. I am part of this group… but I began a little before the year started. I am dedicated and will do this for me. We all need to have a bit more self-care for ourselves. Exercise is my way of having self-care. It really helps with the brain and overall health and well-being.
I signed up for yoga and hip-hop classes at night now. I can put Antonio in daycare and have some fun while he plays with others too. It has been so great to be able to let loose before the end of the night. People sometimes like to work out in the mornings, but I do not.
I signed Antonio up for soccer. At first, I was so hesitant because he has autism and I didn’t know how this would go. I worried about him following instructions and if he would like it. But I need to let him go more and stop babying him so much. I know he can do this just fine, and I am happy to have him in this new class. He loved gymnastics before, but I know soccer is just as fun and a little more fitting for a boy. 😉
I am loving the results of being able to have fun, work out, and feel good. There is so much to self-care, this is just one component.

Ok this makes me so happy “I am dedicated and will do this for me. We all need to have a bit more self-care for ourselves. Exercise is my way of having self-care. It really helps with the brain and overall health and well-being.”
As a personal trainer and motivation coach, I am SO happy when I see people take charge of their own wellness like this! Way to go girl! And I love that you put your son in soccer as well. Activity is so important for kids! I hope he has a blast <3
(PS: I do NOT like morning workouts either!!)
thanks for sharing your story!
I’m glad your son is enjoying soccer. I take dance two nights a week and I love it! It’s a lot of fun, and I’m definitely the type who would rather go at night than in the morning.

thank you!! we are happy Wirth it.
I agree that exercise is a great type of self-care. I go to the gym three mornings a week and put my two toddlers in the gym daycare. That hour and a half makes a world of difference in my overall well-being and helps with stress relief.
it really does!!
Getting more exercise is part of my 2019 plan, too! I’m joining a rock climbing gym, want to try a jujitsu class, and am doing a C25K program in April & May.
oh that sounds like its going to be fun and hard! lol
It’s so hard sometimes to “take care of you” but that is my 2019 goal for sure! My 12 year old son and I are doing it together which is super awesome and we have asked my hubby to build a ninja warrior course in our back yard because we love that show and want a course of our own!
that sounds so great!
It is definitely helpful to have cute workout clothes to get motivated. That’s a good one for me. And also a nice, big water bottle.
it sure does!!
