| If you work full time You might not be able to manage all these things in a satisfactory way. First make sure you have sane foundations: enough sleep + exercise + proper diet. Then experiment and see what sticks. I find it easier to meditate right after I wake up and take a shower, I also manage to do 10-15 min of stretches/yoga. Reading is the perfect pre bed activity, dim the lights, make some tea, read until you're too tired to continue. I also found that some activities are just not a fit for me. Maybe you like the idea of, let's say, journaling, but in practice you don't like it = you procrastinate to avoid doing it. Focus on what you truly enjoy doing and build habits from here. > I'm kind of overwhelmed or I can't spend qualitative time in my relationship / don't have time to do other chores. It's also a matter of expectations, you can't do 10 things and excel in all of them. You can't watch all the new Netflix shows, meditate one hour a day, learn to be a professional guitar player, &c. while working full time and having a kid. Pick your battle(s). |
