POV: you just wanted a chill hobby…

now you’re a full-time:

🏓 pickleball player

🏃‍♀️ runner

🏋️‍♀️ gym girl (against your will 😂)

👩‍⚕️ nurse saving lives

👩‍👦 mom 24/7

📚 and still trying to read one chapter…

…why am I tired all the time 😭

... Read moreFrom personal experience juggling multiple demanding roles as a mom, nurse, and an enthusiast for activities like pickleball and running, I understand the challenge of constant fatigue. It’s a true test of time management and self-care to fit everything in, especially when you’re also trying to read a book or find a moment of peace. Pickleball has become an unexpected passion for me—a fun way to stay active and socialize—but it also adds to the schedule. Running helps clear my mind and boosts energy but requires commitment. Gym sessions sometimes feel like a chore, especially after long, exhausting shifts at the hospital. Still, these hobbies are vital for my mental and physical well-being. One key to managing this busy lifestyle is setting realistic goals and prioritizing tasks. For instance, I try to plan shorter but effective workouts on days when work or mom duties take center stage. Sleep and nutrition are non-negotiable pillars that help me maintain stamina throughout the day. Moreover, embracing the unpredictability of life—like the surprise demands of mom life or the emotional toll of nursing—has taught me resilience. Support from fellow moms and colleagues makes a huge difference. Sharing experiences with others in the same boat, like through local pickleball clubs or mom groups, fosters a valuable sense of community. If you find yourself asking, “Why am I tired all the time?” remember that it’s okay to rest and reset. Listening to your body, carving out small moments for yourself, and celebrating small victories in your busy days can keep you moving forward with more energy and positivity. Incorporating the playful spirit of pickleball, the focus of running, and the dedication of nursing into daily life is a balancing act but one that brings fulfillment and growth. Hang in there—you’re doing more than you realize, and every step counts!

When I said I wanted to get outside more… this is what I meant. Not just going outside to go outside, but doing things that actually inspire me and pour back into me. This art show reminded me how important it is to experience life outside of survival mode sometimes. Especially as a mom. 🤍
