Is it possible to make space for healthier habits when youâre exhausted by family and work?
Hereâs a question about habits and healthâand willpowerâthat I got from someone in the Wise Womenâs Council, our annual mastermind:Â
âI have a limited amount of discipline and willpower and Iâm spending it all on my family and business. How do I keep some for myself in order to make healthier choices and feel better physically? (No time to exercise because if Iâm not working I should be with the kids, and by the time Iâm with the kids Iâm exhausted).â
ASK SARAH EPISODE #02
How on earth do you sustain healthy habits after you become a parent? For those of you that want to continue to do things that you used to doâwhether thatâs exercise, eating in a way that fulfills you, spending time recovering, or getting enough sleepâthis episode is all about how much our lives can be upended when we have children.
This is not an episode about willpower or discipline. That science is faulty at best, and if youâre a parent, your willpower bucket is used up by the fifth diaper change of the morning or the two hundred cheerios youâre pulling out of the carpet from your school kidâs lackadaisical style.
