As you can tell, I've fallen off my routine these past few days. I was just too tired to complete my routine. It all falls back on too many long days in a row. I've not worked less than 10 hours a day this whole week. Of the four days this week, I worked 11 hours for 3 of them. On top of that, two were early mornings. So not enough sleep. Honestly it wasn't just my evening routine that fell by the wayside. It was the morning one as well. I had to get up and out the door.
Now I am not going to say I feel guilty about slacking off. I don't. This blog is about my attempt to get Healthy in all areas and facets of my life. I refuse to guilt myself over prioritizing rest. Rest is essential to health.
However, I have kind of back slid when it comes to the work life balance. But with me taking over a week off, starting next week, and my boss being out on medical next week, well I just need to make sure things are in place. I honestly plan to not take my work laptop with me. I may have to since time goes in next Friday and I have to approve it. But I think I can do it from my phone, so I am still up in the air on taking it. I am leaning towards not taking it.
Even with the back sliding, I am still doing pretty well. My spirits are good and I am looking forward to my training next week. But I am going to get back on my routine starting now. I just don't want to lose all the progress I've made. I am not going to give it up just because I have a little blip here and there.
Do you guilt yourself over backsliding? Does it make you want to just give upon your goal?
