#diystarcourse

After getting the family and kids all set with a routine after the influx of #covid19 #quarantining, I forgot to take stock of one person's s**t: mine. Yes, I have a son on the autism spectrum and getting his routine and needs taken care of as much as we can has been challenging at times. And of course, every parent has gone through this during the past couple of months. It's been rough at times. 🦠 And while I've been getting more sleep and the like, and I've not exactly been a slug (heck, I've done two #diystarcourse events in this time!), I haven't gotten my own butt in order like I should have. I've discovered that having the family home 24/7 has been VERY challenging, as there's been no just plain "me time" to speak of. 🛌 So, who came to the rescue? The same person who's come to my rescue each time I've gotten off the horse a bit: @morningcoach. I've been trying to catch up with the morning #coachcast and the other morning I heard an episode that kicked me in the butt. So here I am, back out in the earlier morning and getting the day started right. 🎒 This isn't a #rucking lost, though I am clearly getting some rucking in this morning. This isn't an exercise post, or a get-up-early post, or any of that. This is a simple reminder to everyone that we all need to make time for ourselves in order to benefit from this time of upheaval. Everyone's in the same boat, we all have challenges that we've not had to face before. And the way we will remember this time is by what we took out of it. For me, I want to take out more discipline, more sense of doing what needs to be done - not just for the family but for myself. Neat things about that - making myself the best I can be helps my family do the same. As another mentor and friend of mine, Paul Kyriazi, has said "I'll be selfish for you, and you be selfish for me." 🌎 Let's all take care of ourselves and each other and make this quarantine the best thing that's ever hit this world. We can do it. 🥋 #morningcoach #personalevolution #columbusruckingclub #family #health #goruck #embracethesuck #coronavirus #makethetime https://www.instagram.com/p/B_w9Pw0gC93/?igshid=19o89tfax6bne
