Do you have a good work/life balance?

  • Yes. I’d say for having two jobs, I do a pretty good job with balancing my life with work so that I have plenty free time

Day 22

What areas of your self care do you need to work on more?

  • My mental state/mindset– especially managing my social anxiety and anything that hinders me from feeling good about myself. Also, my dental could be better taken care of, I need to see a dentist and have routine wellness check ups and cleanings so that my oral health is good.

Day 21

Do you overthink things? Does this cause stress and worry?

  • Yes and yes. I tend to overthink everything and always have. When I overthink things it causes me to worry a lot more about the subject matter & in turn causes me stress.

Day 20

Do you feel like your job is affecting your health?

  • Not my job/career as a personal trainer, but my third shift job that I do feel it has and still might be affecting my health due to my sleep schedule (not getting enough sleep) and eating habits (always eating more since working third shift). As of right now, I have been working on both of those things, and I make sleep a priority (at least 5-6 hours if possible) and I have changed my eating habits so that I consume less while at work — which has helped because then I don’t fall into a food coma.

Day 19

How does alcohol change you as a person?

  • Well, to be honest, I no longer desire, seek or need to be drunk in order to have a good time when I am with people or on my own unlike my college years where going out each and every weekend with friends and getting wasted was the norm for me. When I drink socially, I might get tipsy enough where I feel a slight buzz, but I know my limits and I don’t try to exceed them and I still am aware of my social settings and the people in my surroundings — because I want to stay alert & be responsible. When I drink alone at home, I feel safe so I don’t necessarily have a limit but again I don’t allow it to get to the point where my character may change; if anything I usually fall asleep afterwards. If I should exceed my limit when drinking, normally I am more or less flirty and silly.
