Struggling to find time for daily exercise, healthy eating, or a few personal moments? You’re not alone! Many of us lead busy lives, and self-care doesn’t always make it to the top of the list.

One habit I’ve implemented —and one I often recommend—is actually scheduling time for yourself, right on your calendar, planner or to-do list, just as you would appointments, meetings, and any other commitment. Block out specific times for workouts, relaxation, meal prep, and even your bedtime.

Then, honor these appointments with yourself—whether it’s a walk in the park, cooking something nourishing, dancing to your favorite song, or simply winding down for bed. Treating these moments like any other priority can make all the difference in living healthier and with purpose.
