How to redeem a “rotting” day
I don't know about you, but I'm not one of those girlies who needs a "rotting" day. In fact, I hate myself if I sleep past 9am on the weekend. But it does occasionally happen where for one reason or another I blink and it feels like the day has gotten away from me. When that happens these are the things I do to "redeem" myself. They are small, but as I'm getting into bed I feel like I've accomplished something.
As soon as I get my booty out of bed I...
-Brush my teeth
-Make my bed
-Change
-Eat
These are small but they make me feel like the rotting is officially over
Next I need to move my body or else I know I will never sleep the next night. That can look like...
- A workout
- A long walk
- A bike ride
Then of course I shower.
And in the evening which usually sneaks up on me, I make sure to...
-Tidy the entire apartment, I don't want to see the proof of my rot the next day
-Make dinner
-Do full skin care before bed so I don't wake up flaky
-Try to limit screentime before bed bc that's usually the culprit for my day of rot

Have you ever woken up and felt like half the day is already gone? It's easy to have those 'rotting' days. To redeem them, establish a swift morning routine: brush your teeth, make your bed, and eat a nutritious meal. This sets a positive tone. After that, move your body! Engaging in activities like a workout, long walk, or bike ride can invigorate you. Post-exercise, take a refreshing shower to feel more awake. As evening approaches, tidy your space to avoid the visual reminders of your 'off' day. Preparing a wholesome dinner and indulging in a complete skincare routine before bed enhances your well-being. Don't forget to limit screen time to ensure a restful night! By integrating these simple steps into your day, you can transform a rotting day into a productive one, helping you regain a sense of control and accomplishment.
