In the States, this morning we started Daylight Savings Time- aka Fell Back, aka gained an hour of sleep. And while, in general I am anti messing with the clock (it throws me off no matter if we move forward or back!), I am pro more sleep. However, this year I can’t help but think: if we are given the gift of an extra hour how can we best use it?
(I know that’s not exactly how it works, but the thought is true!)
As we know, my life has been in a state of chaos lately. I will not deny that it’s been a lot, and lead to some depression. Fall is usually one of my favorite seasons, but this year it’s just been- not great. And it doesn’t help that it’s not even remotely chilly where I am (and I love sweater weather!). With the extra hour to fall in, I decided this week that while things are what they are, I would get it together this week. Get back to my workouts, my outfits, my life- and find some joy. Lofty ambitions, but I think doable and conveniently those things build on one another. I can’t control contractors or work on the house, but I can control me and how I spend my hours- even the extra one. So. What do I plan on doing with the extra hour we’re falling in?
-Moving my closet from summer to “winter”. Also a little bit of clean out. It’s a bit difficult when the weather isn’t cooperating, but maybe cool weather is a “if we build it, it will come” thing?
-Getting on a routine. From bed times to workouts to meals- I have been all over the place lately. I am yearning for a schedule that lets me do all that I want to, all that helps me thrive, and also combats the blues!
-Read for pleasure. In fact, just pick up a hobby or two in general- I can’t remember the last time I did something just for the joy of it, and think it may be a missing piece of my life
-Regular posting and outfits. Being a bit down, having the house torn apart has left me in sweats (though nothing wrong with that!) and being inconsistent with posts, etc (especially on IG). I want to get back to a routine here as well!
I know that all of these goals won’t fit into one hour- but if I am given the gift of time, why not use all of it? We may as well try, right? (Though honestly, I will probably also sleep a bit more too!)
What are you planning on doing with your extra hour?
Wishing us all a week of extra time and amazing shoes! XO RA
