Commitments
I will take time for myself each week to do an activity that I enjoy.
I commit to leaving work at quitting time at least 3 days out of 5 days.
I commit to drinking at least 5 bottles of water throughout my day.
I commit to adding meditation and mindfulness back into my daily routine in an effort to decrease daily stress and anxiety
I have had 3 work related injuries over the past five years. PT has become a permanent part of my life. I am making a commitment to increase the time I spend doing my PT exercised at home, between bi-weekly visits.
Take breaks at work and devote time to eating lunch. I will not work during lunch and I will take two additional breaks a day to get up and walk.
I will make the most out of each day, knowing that I am enough and people depend on me.
I commit to taking better care of myself by engaging in mindfulness, meditation, stress reduction, and not trying to get it all done now or alone.

@Jasmine Vasquez I agree with Kelda below, you should try to start living now! Even if it's just setting a little time aside each week for relaxing as a family, or just you if you need it.
Your habits start now.
