What’s Inside…
Daily Self Care to Avoid Burnout
The best way to avoid ever being in danger of burnout is to take the time to focus on self care daily. Really, just avoid ever getting there whenever possible.
It doesn’t matter if you work from home, are a stay at home, are a student, or are working in a job you love.
Everyone is susceptible to burnout! It creeps in fast and can be difficult to realize if you aren’t careful.
You can enjoy your life a whole lot easier when you avoid feeling burnout at all!

Improve Your Relationships
There are so many relationships that need your attention. When you’re a busy woman and you feel like your time isn’t your own, that can be overwhelming!
It is totally normal for you to start to shut down, little by little, and stop giving relationships in your life the time they need and deserve.
The worst part is, you are most likely to tell yourself that your busy schedule simply won’t allow you to nurture important relationships.
This is a trap! The truth… we all need healthy relationships in our lives. You and you alone can’t live the life you deserve without having people to share it with.
If you want to improve your quality of life you have to be willing to let people in. Yes, that can be scary and most definitely takes some control out of your hands.
BUT… it’s worth it.
Focus on Your Health
Maybe you are one of those people that just naturally loves to focus on your health. If so, count your blessings.
I, for one, have found this is a struggle of epic proportions. Focusing on my health is something that I have learned has to be something I have laser focus on EVERY DAY or it is the first thing to go.
You have to know, this happens little by little, through a series of daily choices to avoid focusing on your health. Spoiler alert! If you want to enjoy your life, don’t ignore your health.
Oh, I have had a million reasons why I am “too busy” to focus on my health. Let’s just say it led down a really bad path that you want to avoid… Over the course of about 7 years I gained over 150 pounds and was totally NOT healthy.
I’ve worked hard to lose the extra weight but that isn’t even the best part. I feel good now. It feels great to know that you can make decisions that are good for your health and generally make good decisions on a daily basis.
You can too! Even if you have a crazy busy lifestyle.
Time Management To Win The Day
If you want to start with something that has an instant impact on your quality of life, focus on your time management habits.
The busier you get the more likely you are to start throwing in extra little things here and there throughout the day.
The next thing you know, you’re constantly bouncing from one thing to another and not feeling like you ever actually finish anything! This is a trap that we all fall into at some point in our lives. It’s important to be intentional with your time.
Thankfully, I am a planner. I have lists for my lists and I like it that way. Staying on track throughout the day keeps me sane! I literally love checking things off of my to-do list. Satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment fall right in line!
Show Self Love
In theory, the idea of taking the time to show self love is great. In practice, it can be really hard to do. Especially when you’re busy.
All the moms out there… you (and I) are the #1 offenders on this. Being a mom myself, and totally guilty too, I know it comes from a place of love.
No matter whether you’re a mom or not, you have a TON happening in your life. There are people and things that demand your attention. And, you’re probably doing those things like a pro!
Here’s the thing though. If you don’t allow yourself to show a little self love you won’t be able to keep it up.
That glass house you’ve been building will come crashing down around you. You’ve worked hard to make sure the people around you have what they need. You even make sure the things that need your attention get it.
Now, give yourself permission to show self love so you can keep it up.
Find Your Passion
You may be thinking, “What in the world does finding my passion have to do with improving the quality of your life?” But, it’s one of the most important things you can do to find happiness and satisfaction in life.
Regardless of any reality or circumstance of your life, you need to find your passion.
What is that thing, or those things, that you enjoy most? What brings you joy?
Another way to look at it would be, what is it that really gets me excited about life?
How To Enjoy Life
If you really want to improve your quality of life the secret is to focus on just that. Take little steps every day to focus on the things that will help you truly embrace life. If you want to know how to enjoy your life, you need to look inward.
Just remember that it takes an intentional focus everyday on you and what you need. It’s so easy to make these adjustments in a way that doesn’t disrupt your life and still allows you to be the best version of yourself.
After all, if you want to truly live your best life, you have to give yourself permission to enjoy it. You have created this beautiful life so let yourself embrace the beauty of it!
