SEPTEMBER: A MYRIAD OF EMOTIONS!
September is here, signaling a fresh start for women juggling school, work, and personal commitments. The shift from summer's ease to a hectic routine can feel overwhelming, but with some strategies, you can tackle this busy season confidently. Here are five tips to help you dive into September with less stress:
1. Set Clear Priorities
Identify your top tasks for the month. Make a priority list of school, work, and personal goals. Focus on what truly matters, and don’t hesitate to delegate or say no to non-essential tasks. Yes its hard to delegate, but life is different now and everyone needs to pull their own weight x
‌
2.. Create a Structured Schedule
A solid schedule is your best ally. Use a planner or calendar to outline your days, including work, shopping, and personal time. Remember to block out breaks to recharge! Will you do it?
‌
3. Embrace Self-Care
Prioritise your well-being. Set aside time for activities that rejuvenate you—exercise, quiet time, or quality time with loved ones. Self-care boosts your resilience against stress! Schedule it into your diary AND RID THE GUILT FOR DOING IT! Everyone else seems to do it, so why not you?
‌
4. Limit Distractions
Cut down on distractions that lead to overwhelm. Identify what's pulling your focus—social media, notifications—and set specific times for checking them to stay on track. THIS ONE IS HARD. But learning to be super laser focused is a skill and you can learn it!
‌
5. Seek Support
You don’t have to do it all alone. Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues for help. Sharing your workload or discussing challenges can lighten the load and offer fresh insights - join a community or group or programme, in my 12 week transformation we DIG DEEP on this very subject https://www.nataliehill.com/12-transform
