TAKE THESE 4 STEPS TO DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE

I think we could all agree that we would jump at the
opportunity to do more of what we really love in life! Whether its more date
nights with your man, more snuggles with your little ones, more wine nights
with your girls, or just more time for yourself, I believe there are a few
steps we can take to get to that place!

lucy is an activewear line with stylish yet performance-enhancing
workout and yoga clothing; they share an incredible message that I think you
all would enjoy! It goes along with the balanced healthy lifestyle approach
that I take; the company recognizes all of us who have to-do lists a mile long,
yet are still wanting to live a life we love! There is no need to sacrifice,
instead rely on your healthy lifestyle and being active to do more!

Here are 4 steps that may help you fully engage in all the
things you love to do:

(1) Identify What Makes You Tick

So often, our lives become incredibly hectic that time seems
to fly. Many of us cannot identify the things we really love to do because
we’re in a constant state of getting done what needs to be done. In college,
professor after professor told me, “find a way to make money doing what you
love.” How was I supposed to find what I loved to do when I was consumed with
papers, presentations, and studying for exams and had very little time to even
explore what I loved to do? Can you relate??

It wasn’t until I began journaling ((yes, middle school
diary type of journaling)) that I really found what I loved to do. I had
several mentors suggest journaling, but I used the “I don’t have time” and “I
don’t know how to journal” excuses. Let your mind wander. Dream up big dreams.
Put it all on paper. Eventually, you’ll begin to see themes in your writing;
these trends point at what exactly it is that you love.

(2) Make Time for 30 Minutes of Exercise 5 Times per Week

How can exercise earn you more time to do what you love?
Making time for a 30-minute workout 5 times per week will help you in two
critical ways. First off, working out releases endorphins also known as the
“happy hormone.” This pleasurable feeling can help equip us to take on a day of
doing more of what we love. Secondly, when you realize you were able to make
time for a workout in a busy day without sacrificing anything else, you begin
to wonder what other feel-good activities you could make time for.

(3) Look at Your Schedule

Sometimes, all you need to do is sit in front of you planner
to look at the “musts” on you to-do lists and schedule those in first. There
are inevitable musts like work, school, family obligations, etc., but once you
put those down, you can find the holes in your day. These holes equal time to
do what you love!

(4) INK in Your Planner Time for What You Love

The best part about healthy living is that it shows you that
you’re capable of A LOT more than you thought. Maybe you never believed you
could run a mile without stopping, and now you can. Maybe you never thought you
could squat your bodyweight, and now you can. Just like those examples, you can
find time in your day for those things you identified in your journal.

Now this… this is for you. The ones who have it all… on your
to-do list! lucy is hosting a contest (click here for more info) in which every week, you can win your
choice of a year of housecleaning, babysitting, or meal deliver, and one grand
prize winner will receive all three! Now that would really free up some time to
do more of what we love!
