@everydayem96: I honestly had a crap day today. Woke up late, got an email about college that added to my stress, and then just had all the thoughts about bills, debt, and everything that needs paid running through my head. It was one of those days where everything just felt HEAVY. But one positive? My last home visit of the day got moved up, so when I finished, I decided to clock out and go straight to the gym. I only made it to the gym twice last week and hadn’t been at all yet this week. And today I realized my body AND my mind needed that workout more than anything. I put my headphones in, lifted some heavy shit, and for that hour I didn’t have to think about anything else. 🥹 Then I got to go get my nails done 💅🏼 and for a few hours, the stress got to be a little quieter. Tomorrow is a new day. 🤍 Some days, prioritizing myself feels like the very last thing on the list. There’s always work, kids, responsibilities, bills, school and a million other things that feel more important. But I still deserve to be on that list too. Today I chose me for a few hours. And that matters. 🫶🏼 #WorkingMom #TeacherMom #MomLife #FitnessJourney #FullBodyWorkout
