Commitments
I commit to trying my best to actively remind myself to take time for myself and my family while I am in my grad school program for the next three years. I am having my first baby during my first semester of school. I commit to balancing work with quality of life so that I can be the least stressed as possible.
I'm going to start making self care a priority. I’ve let is slide the last few years and it’s time to start again
I will learn to take time for myself, even if just a few minutes, every day. I will continue the journey to "properly" order my life in a way that suits me! God, Family, Self, Work, and others.
To take better care of myself by taking breaks at work to walk, read or pray.
I will eliminate immediate and pressing stressors in my life in the next 3 weeks.
Implement the strategies I've learned through the Cleveland Clinic's Trim Life Program.
I have quit smoking. I have gained weight. I have scheduled an appt. w/ a nutritionist.
Committed to being present, and mindful for at least ten minutes every day x30 days. Whether being outside, or even in my own home just taking time to breathe-strengthening my mental health.
I promise to take some time off from school for myself and do something I enjoy like hanging out with my dog, reading, or spending time with my family.
I commit to allowing myself a break from work and school, to be present with my family.
