Morning Routine for When You are Low on Energy ⛅️🎀
I'm back from a 24-hour social media detox! During my break, all I could think about was scrolling, posting, and responding to y’all’s comments on Lemon 8. I love it here!
But I had to make a better decision to stay offline, refresh my home, and recharge my energy because this week, my cycle starts and I get really low on energy. Did you know that before our periods, our estrogen levels drop, leading to fatigue and mood swings? This can affect your workouts and eating habits. Understanding and managing my habits during my menstrual cycle phases (each woman has 4 of them) is another tip that helped me release 30 lbs.
So, I'm going into this week focusing on healthy habits that are low-energy because period time can be tough. Here’s what I did today:
💗 Made breakfast out of my leftovers from dinner last night. This cut out the overthinking.
💗 Use half and half in my coffee to reduce my sugar intake and inflammation.
💗 Prayed and read the Bible because spiritual self-care is important.
💗 Wrote in my pink diary because I am journal kind of girl and I use my journal to keep track of the progress I’m making for my 21 days of making better decisions.
💗 For movement because I couldn’t go on my self-care walk I did a gentle morning stretch and cleaned the house.
Follow for more and share your journey with me, what did you do today? What are your go-to healthy habits when you're low on energy?
P.s I promise I’ll be responding to comments on my previous posts soon. Thank you for being here! 💓 Sarah

Many women experience energy dips during their menstrual cycle, largely due to hormonal fluctuations. Understanding your cycle can be essential to manage these days better. Try focusing on nutrient-rich breakfasts, like oatmeal or smoothies, to sustain your energy. Incorporating light exercises, such as yoga or stretching, can also enhance your mood and vitality without overstressing your body. Spiritual self-care, such as meditation or prayer, not only nourishes your mental health but also creates a positive mindset. Journaling during this time helps track your emotions and patterns, leading to greater self-awareness. Engage with a supportive community, whether online or in person, as sharing experiences can foster understanding and encouragement. Remember, taking small steps can lead to substantial changes over time.
Last slide “this is Florida send help” 😂 I felt that. Sak pasé ❤️
