I don’t wanna go back to work 😫

I’ve been off work since June 24 and I’m so sad to go back on Jan 6.

I actually like my job and I’m very good at it. My husband is a stay at home dad and he’s also really really good at that. Or family arrangement works for us and I don’t necessarily wanna change anything.

But my daughter is 6 months and it’s been such a beautiful holiday season. I love being there for all the mundane-magical moments of her life. I love being around her enough to take a little self-care time, like going to the gym or sleeping in.

Tonight we’re gonna go to a small get together with friends and I’m really going to try to soak in the memories… only 36 more hours.

... Read moreReturning to work after a holiday can be a difficult transition for many, especially when you've cherished moments with family. It’s essential to acknowledge these emotions and find ways to ease back into the routine. Consider adopting strategies to maintain a work-life balance, such as setting clear boundaries between work hours and family time. Engaging in self-care activities can also help alleviate some of the stress associated with returning to work. Remember to cherish those little magical moments with your baby, as they contribute to overall emotional health. Connecting with friends, reflecting on memories, and discussing feelings about the transition can also provide support. Utilize online communities, such as parenting forums and support groups, to share experiences and gain advice. Ultimately, embracing a positive mindset about work and family can enhance your overall well-being. Recognizing the importance of mental health during this period is crucial. If feelings of anxiety or sadness persist, consider seeking support from mental health professionals. They can provide tools and strategies to navigate the stress of returning to work while maximizing family moments. Also, explore flexible work arrangements if possible, to find a balance that works for your family's needs.

Most of us chase the front leg stretch in splits. But honestly? The back leg changes everything🤯 Open the hip flexor, work that back leg, and suddenly Hanumanasana feels very different🌿 Forward fold is still the base — just not the whole story🤗 #hipmobility #hipflexors #yogatips #

My Swim I really didn’t wanna do
I had no desire to leave my house after work today but told myself I just had to go and swim 30 minutes. Well I did it and normally I’d say I feel great after but honestly as soon as I hit 30 minutes I was out and headed home for a hot shower and pajamas. But hey at least I got to the pool. 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Handwritten notes on lined paper discuss how to avoid looking back, referencing Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26) and the Israelites leaving Egypt. It explores themes of reluctance, disbelief, and disobedience.
I don’t wanna be salty no more.
A little Genesis Study. Sometimes we may feel an inkling to monitor the past. It may be and seem hard, but every day—with every step… progress is made in the right direction. With Prayer and focus, the monument of the past will be reduced and lessened. There’s nothing to go back to…. #b
