NI10 things I do now because I refuse to be miserable, soft, and broke in my 40s:
Some of this used to embarrass me. Now I realize this is exactly why I feel good — and why my wellness routine stopped being just an expense.
1. I do laps. On my house, around the block, in parking lots, at the ball fields - I’m on my feet on purpose!
2. I bring my own drinks everywhere. I call it my cup family. There’s usually 3 or 4 of them depending. 🧑🧑🧒🧒
3. I lift weights even when I don’t feel like it, because I’ve learned the hard way that muscle leaves fast and comes back slow.
4. I eat real meals instead of pretending coffee counts as breakfast and then wondering why I feel like a seagull hovering around scraps by noon. 🦅
5. I go to bed when my kids to go bed. Bc sleep now determines whether tomorrow is productive or tragic.
6. I repeat the same meals most days because my life is busy enough without negotiating with myself over what to eat.
7. I get cute for my workout. Even though I workout at home…alone. Look good, feel good!
8. I stopped ignoring when something felt “off” and hoping it would magically fix itself. I started advocating for myself and problem solving.
9. I talk about what I’m doing openly. It keeps me accountable! I don’t downplay or keep my wellness goals private. No shame in striving for optimal health.
10. When I treat myself - it’s to things that contribute to my goals and longevity - not sugary drinks or desserts. A new gym fit, a massage, a new longevity tool…
Guess what? When you take care of yourself consistently, people notice. This is how I make thousands a week from home. Because being broke is miserable too.
