Great suggestions! I think the key is to find a kind of exercise you love - be it walking with a great friend, hiking, yoga, cycling, martial arts, what have you. If you enjoy exercising, you will do it. If you dread it, you'll find an excuse not to work out, even though you always feel better afterwards. But you need to make it a priority, or it won't happen. But if you do, you'll feel a whole lot better! (I still don't know how you exercised in the heat and humidity of Costa Rica that makes Austin look like Canada in November, by the way!

Absolutely love this post! Jump-starting a new healthy habit can be such a game-changer. 💪 Starting small and being consistent is key – whether it's a morning walk, drinking more water, or adding veggies to your meals.

First of all... love the colorful drawing! Was that done by Clara? I too am a perfectionist. I assumed it’s because I am the daughter of alcoholics (that’s what I had always heard). But maybe it’s a genetic thing ;)? However, since having a child, I have resolved to an “it’s good enough” mindset. Because as a working parent and spouse and business owner and volunteer and....there is only so much energy you can give to to all the people and responsibilities that are required to live as your best self!

Perfectionism is indeed a kind of curse... Over the years I've had to learn to stop monitoring how other people were doing things, that even if I didn't have the time or energy to clean something to my "standards", not cleaning it at all just leads to serious domestic disaster, and forgetting something, say, an important ingredient, is unfortunate, but not the end of the world and not worth a moment of negative energy beating myself up over. I say "perfect" a lot, too, to clients confirming appointment times, etc. It's probably time to make sure that's, "great" instead...

It's me!! I am so bad at journaling! I live vicariously through you with regard to journaling. I need to track my symptoms better, though: I think it's crunch time for me
