It’s OK to have a blah day, beautiful! I’ve felt so cute the other day, and my hair has grown so much since last year, hasn’t it?! But I couldn’t get anything done... Literally all I’ve done today was reviewing the perfectionist detox training I did in November, which has been on my to do list for weeks and that I kept postponing to “tomorrow” - which, as we all know, never happened. And check all my DMs on all platforms.⠀
A few years ago, I used to get sick pretty much every time I went on vacation... All I was doing was working. And when I wasn't working, I would still think about work. I was a store manager at Apple and loved my job, the people, my responsibilities. I had put all my heart and soul into work, but had very weak boundaries with myself, and struggled with switching my mind off after work.
If you’re struggling to get out of your pajamas this Monday morning and just don’t feel motivated to work from home, try these 3 tips that always get me into super productive moods! I’ve been working from home full time for two years now. And part time for five. I just know what works and what doesn’t.
Jeans have never been more important than in the last few weeks. Sometimes, working in Yoga pants on the couch makes you feel like a lazy couch potato, and wearing jeans makes you feel like oh-so important! I also made a commitment to not wash my clothes until I have worn every single piece of clothing! So I’m also wearing my Bali inspired flower dresses right now. Try it and you will thank me later!! ;)
Honestly, I just discovered this hack this week. I hadn’t worn makeup in suuuuuch a long time, and as I put on this flowery dress, I was like „I may as well just put on some makeup!“. And oh did the day go differently! It shifted things so much and I felt so much more confident! (Click here to learn more and get a discount for the Kylie’s Professional Makeup I use!)
Just because your office is now in your living room doesn’t mean you need to open your computer and check your emails first thing in the morning. Continue (or even extend!) your me-time before you start working. Recharging first is so key! You also can’t use use phone when the battery is empty. So do that meditation and journaling, drink your coffee on the balcony, do a little yoga flow, followed by a shower and a face mask.
These tips may sound really silly or superficial. But they really work!
