SUNDAY NIGHT RECAP
This was my first week back post surgeries and it actually wasn’t bad! I work in healthcare so it can turn stressful very quickly. I kept telling myself that I need to keep a zen attitude going back into work to try to minimize any stressors that come my way. I’m trying to brush off the little nit picky stuff and try to remember we are all human and I think that mentality helped for the first week. I also tried focusing on increasing daily movement at work. When the time allows it, I get up and go walk around my office just to get some steps in. I also used a couple lunch breaks to go on some short walks. I was able to work out 3 times this week and have done multiple family walks! My kid wants to race every time we go for a walk so maybe I can count it as a jog too 😂. Yesterday the local pickleball club hosted a fireman’s festival fundraiser, so Jed and I went to support our favorite firefighter❤️🔥. Lastly, today was actually a really good day with family! We visited with my husband’s family for lunch and then went to my parents for Sunday family dinner. Today made me realize how short the weekend is for the full time working mom. Back to work tomorrow for another fun filled week, but at least it’s my birthday on Saturday! 🎉

This Sunday night recap offers insights into managing stress and prioritizing family time after a significant life change like surgery. Maintaining a zen mindset is essential, especially in the high-pressure environment of healthcare. Incorporating movement throughout the day can mitigate stress and promote wellness. Taking short walks during breaks not only helps in staying active but also provides a mental reset. Family support plays a crucial role in recovery; shared meals and fun activities can enhance emotional well-being. Engaging in playful activities, like racing with your child, injects joy into daily life and helps cultivate connections. Discovering local community events, such as fundraisers, can further enrich your social life and support local heroes, like firefighters. Celebrating milestones like birthdays remind us to cherish moments with loved ones amidst the rush of a busy lifestyle. For working moms, finding balance is key. By focusing on mental health and family, each week can be filled with gratitude and joy, just like my recent experiences. Embrace each moment and strive for harmony in the whirlwind of daily responsibilities.
