Non-Negotiables

Yesterday was a magnificent day. It was the perfect balance of self-care and productivity. I believe it’s a result of my new routine. This past week, I began to seriously incorporate time for myself every day.

I started my mornings with meditation for 20 mins. I followed that up by writing my unfiltered thoughts in my journal. Then, I took time to write these daily thoughts and post them.

Only after I finish these three items, do I begin my workday.

They’re starting to become non-negotiables in my life. And if I’m not mistaken, the more time I invest in my well-being, the more I am able to handle. For the first time, I’m beginning to internalize what it means to take care of yourself first, before you can care for others.

What are your non-negotiables?
