I have my daily rituals every morning, consumes almost 3 hours of my day but everything has a purpose - or so I’d like to think. The only way I’ve found to manage the anxiety from being a working parent with two little ones at home and a stressful tech job.
- germinalphrase 4y agoThis resonates. It’s hard to be wound up/worn down by work and maintain an “A” game as a parent.
- uptownfunk 4y agoI was getting snappy at home, especially early in pandemic, and then I realized if I worked out hard for an hour in the morning I would be much more in control of my reaction.
- q7xvh97o2pDhNrh 4y agoI'm not a parent (yet), but I'm the same way. I like to get up early and have a few hours to myself. A good portion of that time is spent on relatively-aimless puttering around — reading, journaling, etc — as well as a solid 45-90 minutes on working out. I experimented with skipping all this during the pandemic (and working out in the afternoon instead), but I noticed my days felt much more unsatisfying without those morning hours. A friend of mine mentioned he rolls out of bed at 8, and he's in the office and working by 9. I have no idea how he does it.
