My schedule has gotten a little crazy lately and I’m still trying to get into the rhythm with my new job. At my old job my hours were light and pretty flexible, out the door around 5:15pm and the whole night was mine! Not that I’m working super late at the moment but the days of leaving prior to sunset (especially now that the sun sets so early) are long gone. I’m not complaining, I’m loving the new job but it will take some time to get into the swing of things with the job, teaching cycling and blogging.
With a busy schedule, it’s so important to steal a moment for yourself to relax, take a breath, go to yoga, go on a walk, or do whatever you need that frees your mind. I recently stole a moment and attended POPSUGAR’s Seriously Distracted launch party presented by fruitwater and it got me thinking about all the ways I #stealamoment.
With my new job and my new routine, the way I steal a moment is with my walks to and from work. It is a true joy to be within walking distance from the office. The subway at rush hour is a nightmare and lucky me, I don’t have to deal with it!
For me, I’m stealing a moment for myself with my walk to and from work almost every single day. The walk is about 20 minutes and even on rainy days I prefer it to the crowded subway (I’ll get back to you with how I fare if we have Polar Vortex 2.0 this winter). I stay entertained on my walk with my newest obsession, The Right Reasons podcast, it’s a guy and a girl chatting about reality tv for an hour and it’s hilarious. Yea, I’m that person walking down the street laughing to myself.
Occasionally I’ll make a detour on my walk and pick up a little treat, typically opting for the calorie-free kind. Current favorite: tropical pineapple fruitwater
No matter how busy my day might get, I know that I get those 20 minutes in the AM and the PM all to myself, that’s how I steal a moment.
Another way to steal a moment is with Seriously Distracted, quick funny videos that you can check out in between meetings at the office. My favorite is Episode 3: “Franco.” The short video series encourages women to steal more moments.
