Summer Skipping

The women we work with—and if we're being honest, all of us at Live better longer—spend a lot of time making to-do lists.

✔️ Workout

✔️ Call the dentist

✔️ Book the trip

✔️ Buy the gift

✔️ Answer the email

✔️ Figure out dinner

✔️ Schedule the appointment

​There is always something that needs our attention.

​What if you are doing less and not giving up on the things that make you feel your best?

​Here's a few things we are skipping this summer:

​Checking email before you've checked in with yourself.

​The inbox will still be there after your coffee, walk, journal, stretch, or moment of quiet.

​Eating every meal standing up.

​Even five minutes sitting down sends a very different message to your nervous system.

​Scrolling your way into sleep.

​Your brain deserves a better runway into rest.

​Abandoning strength training until September.

​Summer is not a reason to stop building the muscle that supports your future health.

​Booking every open weekend.

​White space is not wasted space.

​Waiting for vacation to recover.

​Small moments of restoration count too.

​Confusing busy with being alive.

​One is a schedule. The other is a feeling.

​What's on your Summer Skip List?

​Here's to a summer filled with more presence, more energy, and a little less of what doesn't serve you. ☀️
