The “Company’s Coming and I’m Nowhere Near Ready Exercise Plan

by Gillian Byers

1) Make a priority list.  Is it more important for you to feel energized and at peace or for that little knickknack to be dusted that no one will notice? Will the company really miss that extra side dish? etc.

What things will most help you enjoy your family and friends?

Sometimes it will be exercise, sometimes it will be cooking or cleaning etc. You get to choose! Sometimes you can have fun mixing the two

2) Take a few seconds to stretch before you get out of bed.

3) Help yourself remember to take relaxing breathes by connecting it to something you do throughout the day, like eating.

4) Have some favorite music, that calls your body to move, playing all day!
