My Actifit Report Card: March 13 2024 - Juggling Work, Family, and "Me Time"

Sundays are sacred for me.

That's my day to recharge and do absolutely nothing.

Wednesday is my day off from school, therefore I'm focused at home today.

The truth is that household duties are frequently neglected when one has a full-time job.

Juggling Work and Parenting:

So, I seize the opportunity on this non-workday to tackle a few things.

And after my morning yoga routine, I'm already ironing clothes by 8:30 am, with the washing machine buzzing in the distance.

Sure, ironing might not build up many steps, but hey, at least I'm getting things done!

Promoting an Adventure Spirit:

My son had to visit the town hall in the afternoon to pick up his passport for his approaching school trip to London.

His ID card will no longer be sufficient due to Brexit, but maybe this passport will lead to many more trips in the future.

As a mother, there's a bittersweet mix of anticipation and worry.

Pfff... letting go of your kids sure isn't easy, but it's a crucial part of maturing up.

A Moment Spent Together:

My son and also I had a little grocery run, and it provided a sweet window into his developing independence.

As I watched him confidently move about the store, a wave of pride washed over me.

Of course, a request for some chocolate tugged at the heartstrings.

My two sons know that I have a soft spot for them.

Can't hide that.

But I also teach the need of acting responsibly.

Prioritizing Self-Care:

Despite the packed schedule, a wave of restlessness made me choose for a visit to the gym.

Thankfully, a well-timed and most welcome phone call 🥰 cleared that uneasy feeling before hitting the workout floor.

A Focus on Progress:

While a fancy fitness tracker might miss some steps (but luckily not during cardio and cool-down phases), the final tally of 6970 wasn't the only measure of success.

Ending the day with 6,970 steps on the pedometer feels like a small victory.

However, the true satisfaction comes from knowing I've been productive beyond just the recorded steps.

Juggling work, family, and personal time can be challenging, but finding moments for myself, like a quick phone call with someone special or the gym session today, helps me recharge and be the best version of myself for everyone else.

Wishing you all the best in life and much health.
