An ideal day

Image Via
The other day was a nice embodiment of a successful day full of productivity and grace and for preservation of tips and tricks to ensure more of them, I thought I'd blog about it.  Specifically, what goes into my ideal schedule:

Early to rise: I love waking up before my alarm.  I've read before this can be a sign of being well rested and I can attest this is usually how I feel when it happens.  At 6:45am, I am stirring to get up and on to my day.

Sip and smooth: hot lemon water for the win.  This is not groundbreaking insight because this is a common beverage of choice for many for varying reasons.  I love it early morning, it just makes my whole body wake up and induces a calmness that clears my mind to take on the tasks before me.  I try to meditate at this point as well, nothing too crazed or in depth, mostly simple thoughts and intentions I set forth while taking time to breathe.

Start 'er up: I get my work station and computer going and my to do lists in front of me and I align on what will be completed first, later, tomorrow and so forth.  I'm a big fan of crossing off items on lists and completing and updating them actively.  It really is the little things.  I love spending hours organizing, creating and working to bring client visions to life.

House of mmmm: I absolutely love being able to cook fresh meals often due to working for myself from home.  I take pride in creating healthy and flavorful meals and it's such a good feeling to be able to do so.

Work it out: In Florida, especially during summertime, rainstorms in the afternoon are quite common.  I loveeeeee hitting the pavement for a good sweat sesh after this glorious occurrence.  The smells, feel in the air, and yes, the coolness it helps drop over our sunshiny existence.  The timing lines up where it's around the end of my standard workday and it's pretty glorious to step away and enjoy good old exercise.  

Tuckered: when work and play are done, a strong hot shower and bed are where it's at.  We like to watch news programs in the evening #bcwereover30 now and honestly I like staying informed.  We enjoy Tucker and Hannity the most and I also factor in some Blue Bloods and Criminal Minds because I like my world problems in the form of resolution within a 53 minute window.

Things also worth mentioning regarding an ideal day for me:

I am highly optimistic and full of gratefulness for every day I wake up and my friends and family and loved ones wake up happy and healthy.  I appreciate all aspects of what a day may lend including client meetups, running errands, grabbing lunch with a friend, I even love grocery shopping.  Actually, I really love grocery shopping.  This post just outlines what I consider an exceptionally awesome day.

What's your ideal day?


Until we meet again,
M

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w...

Simple blessings

I’m lying in bed, next to a snoring husband and my baby girl dogter sprawled out cozy as can be, while the rain falls down upon our roof. Gone are the days of spending a Saturday night downtown at a club, throwing beers back in a honky think, or galavanting around to anywhere with the lights on. And I’m not mad about it. Not even a little bit. There is tilt no place I’d rather be than with hunter, Roni and our comfy sweet little home happily netflixing and writing this here post. It’s a good feeling indeed. I count my blessings extra on nights like this and say a few additional prayers for love and comfort to continue on. I truly don’t ask for more than health, happiness, and love. Anything else is gravy. To simple blessings for all.

Thank you again for linking this up Helene and Taylor !! Now, on to today's topic: A Letter To Your Younger Self Dear 22-27 year old Meggie, Hey, it's me, 29 year old you.
