Your Perfect Lockdown Schedule

I’ve been seeing some INTERESTING posts from people on social media while we’re in lockdown recently …

 

People who:

  • Haven’t showered in days
  • Don’t ever change out of their pajamas
  • Waste time and are bored every day because they don’t have a plan
  • Not getting simple and small things done (that are normally no big deal)
  • Are suffering from more anxiety and stress than usual, because they don’t have any normalcy in their lives!

 

Hey, there’s NO judgment here! In fact, I’ve been guilty of one or two of these over the years …

 

But right now it’s more important than EVER to make sure that we’re doing what we can to keep our head in the game and not let ourselves slip! If this sounds like you (or someone you know!) then a little structure may be exactly what you need. That’s why we’ve created a quick guide below called YOUR PERFECT LOCKDOWN DAY! Creating your own version of this will do SO MUCH to help keep your stress levels lower, stay on track with your goals, and even have more fun in your life!

 

Who knew that when this year kicked off, it would turn out the way it has so far? The best thing we can do is roll with it, adapt our routine, and get on with life the best we can.

 

If you don’t have a schedule, it’s like playing a game of dominoes.

 

If one little thing goes awry, it can cause a cascade of events that can throw off your entire day … or worse! And that can lead to:

  • Stress (which you know is bad for your health). Which can lead to …
  • Poor sleep. Which can lead to …
  • Not-so-healthy meals. Which can lead to …
  • Little or no exercise/activity.

 

Now imagine the OPPOSITE of all that: having a sense of peace and feeling in control … sleeping great at night … having more energy … and feeling proud of yourself because you’re taking control of your day! 

 

Just a few things plugged into a schedule can make a WORLD of difference! Check out this sample schedule:

 

YOUR PERFECT LOCKDOWN DAY

6 a.m.: Morning Ritual: Wake up, drink a glass of water, take vitamins

6:30: Gratitude Practice / Meditation

7 a.m.: Workout

8 a.m.: Shower

8:15 a.m.: Breakfast

9 a.m.: Work

Noon: Lunch, get outside for fresh air, personal development

1-5 p.m.: More Work: client meetings, virtual coaching, etc. (ALSO: deal with mail and paperwork/make any phone calls for any personal business.)

5:30 p.m.: Dinner, chores, and fun/family time! (do something creative, write random cards to family members/friends,

9 p.m.: Reading, gratitude practice/prayer, and sleep!

 

 

Take a few minutes today to create YOUR perfect day schedule – set yourself up for success by being realistic about how much you actually can accomplish in a day.

 

And then hold yourself accountable for following it.

 

You will be amazed how after just a day or two you will feel so much more relaxed and at peace.

 

Make it an amazing day,

Christina

    My lockdown schedule has been all over the place. The key to my success is not over scheduling myself.

    This is a nice suggestion but I don’t think there’s a perfect lockdown schedule. Everyone is different! And I personally can’t imagine waking up at 6 AM when I can sleep in 🙂

    This is a fabulous schedule and I am for sure going to d the same as some days I run out of tie to get some thing sin that I would like to lie regular exercise. I exercise with my daughter but the problem is she loves to sleep in late and I am an early bird so… I want to do it early in the morning and get it out of the way…. I feel the most energy I the AM and exercising helps to boost that so it would be a win win. Thanks for sharing and I am telling her we are getting on a schedule to do early exercising 🙂
