Are you waiting to have time?
This week I launched my face to face MenoFit programme. It was amazing but the one thing I heard throughout and after this first session was “I wish I’d known this years before”.
Hearing that cemented my feeling that the whole hormone and deeper wellbeing conversations need to be started much sooner BUT… Do we have time to have those chats when there are no symptoms or wellbeing niggles and frustrations?
Is it only when we reach crisis point with our hormones / health / wellbeing that we MAKE the time?? And at that point, do we feel that we are the base of a huge mountain to climb and can’t see where the footpath starts?
I personally feel that lack of confidence, exhaustion or boredom and demotivation and frustration are the biggest barriers women face when it comes to prioritising and improving their wellbeing, along with time.
Yet I’m having conversations with so many women at the moment that are highlighting it’s not lack of ACTUAL time that is a barrier, but them THINKING they’re not going to HAVE enough time, because they have so much to change or improve. As a result they are waiting to start making any changes until they have time to plan them.
Are you waiting? Do you think you need to carve hours out of your already stretched routine each day to prioritise your health and wellbeing? To exercise? or to even create a routine that prioritises you??
There is a quote that I often share that says: ‘If you do not make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness’
We all have 24 hours each day, I will always advocate you sleep for 8/9 of them, most of us will work for (an average) 8 of those remaining 15/16. If you are commuting to the office or doing the school run you might use for another 2. House admin and the cooking might take another 2… and whilst maths never has been my strong point, I have a calculator app on my device that tells me you’ll still have 3-4 hours to use, a 30 minute morning and evening routine still leaves you 2-3… how are you spending them?
If you need to spend some of your remaining hours of the day on your health and wellbeing before you are forced too then please come and join my online MenoFit programme.
