Hi friends! We are back today with some exciting news to share with you and also some more ways to fuel your mind, body, and soul. In today's episode, we chat all about giving ourselves permission to rest and respect your time so you can reclaim your day.

I get it, we often feel like there are not enough hours in a day to get it all done AND take care of ourselves. But here is where boundaries, rest, and learning to respect your time and energy play a big part!

As working professionals who are also moms, I get it, we juggle a lot on our plates and the juggle is often very real! However, when we work to reframe our perception of time and energy, we will become more mindful of how we spend it, how we fuel ourselves, how we show up, and more than anything we will feel like the day is ours once again!

Below are some quick tips on how you too can feel energized, honor your personal and professional boundaries, and reclaim your time:

1. Set aside an entire day where you do nothing. I mean it. That is not your day to do chores, tend to client work, or plug into your work messages. That is your day to relax, reconnect with yourself (and your family), and simply unplug from the ongoing noise around you.

2. Do 1 thing a day that nourishes you -- this could be taking your time in the morning as you wake up, spending time in gentle reflection, really relishing your morning cup of tea/coffee, enjoying a workout, or run/walk by yourself, reading a few pages of your latest read or listening to a podcast. Whatever it is that makes you feel good, supported, and brings you joy, do that.

3. Set personal and professional boundaries. Let's face it, the reclamation of our time and energy is not a luxury. It is a crucial need. Now more than ever. This looks like​...

• Saying no. Without guilt. Without justification.
• Delegating the tasks that drain you.
• Asking for help and support in the ways you desire it and require it.
• Taking space and time away from your loved ones (parents, I'm looking at you)... so you can refuel and reclaim your energy, even if it's for 15 minutes or a whole weekend.

I want you to get a sheet of paper and define what "having it all" means to you. Take that in and start focusing on your definition of it. Next, I want you to start assessing your daily routine, and if it feels a bit murky and messy to you, start cleaning it up. By this, I mean focusing on what truly lights you up, start working with only hell-yes clients. If you're in a 9-5, Log off on time every day when you're done work - no staying late unless it's absolutely needed. Set boundaries. Take your lunch hour and breaks on time. No guilt. No over-explanation. Take a mental health day or sick day if you need it or need to be there for your loved ones. No Guilt, shame, or anything else anyone tries to project onto you. No internalizing it.
​
Energetically, reclaiming your time and energy means...​Regulating your emotions daily to sift through what's yours and leaving other people's agendas & projections at the door. Releasing misaligned partnerships and opportunities. Surrounding yourself with people who truly support you, want to see you thrive, and be a conscious part of your life. No forced connections (bye!) That is so 2019. Creating time and space to cultivate a loving, safe, and supportive relationship with YOURSELF.
