Pressing the Reset Button

written by Parita 6 Comments

Man, the past month has been such a whirlwind of activity – a visit home, training, a wedding, and a team meeting.  I FINALLY feel caught up in most areas of my life!

While I was back in Miami this past week, two of my teammates were in town for a meeting.  We worked hard during the day and played hard at night.  This essentially equates to lots of meals out and not a lot of rest.

I’ve had to date.

It was fun while it lasted but now it’s time to get back into a routine of sorts!

Starting this week, I am pressing the reset button and bringing sleep, water, and home cooked meals back into the picture.

Here’s the plan:

1. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
2. Drink at least 50 ounces of water every day.
3. Get back into meal planning mode and minimize dinners out to once (maybe twice) a week.

It’s interesting how five years ago my “reset” plan would have looked completely different.  Instead of understanding that a few weeks of unstructured living is ok and sometimes very much needed, I would have freaked out and created a 10 point plan on how to get back on track.  Oh the stress I put on myself!  The old me was a slightly neurotic individual.

After coming home to Miami, I realized that while I do thrive on some kind of structure/routine, I absolutely need to let loose every few months or so.  Over the past month, I spent lots of quality time with people I love and adore, I ate amazing food, and I truly enjoyed every minute.  The “break” could not have come at a better time!  I feel refreshed and energized in all areas of my life and am ready to take on the rest of 2014!

Have a great Monday!
