Then I painted my finger nails

Healthy is hard. Eating well takes work and planning. Exercise takes effort. Self-care takes prioritizing yourself. Sometimes I just don’t feel like putting in the work.

Plopping on the couch is easy, grabbing some premade whatever to eat is easy. Saying tomorrow is easy…

I was in a little bit of a healthy slump. I was feeling apathetic. I was eating whatever, weather and schedule messed with my exercise routine and rather than make an adjustment I just let it go.. I got a lot of reading done.. but my movement was way down and I was eating more food that foiled me rather than fueled me. Stuck….

For some reason I have never given my hands the same love and care as my feet. Pedicures absolutely, manicures very rarely. On a hike the topic came up and I admitted I don’t put the effort into my hands that I should and they often look beat up.

The other day I was looking at my hands in my state of meh and then I painted my finger nails.

Now I know that painting your nails isn’t a miracle cure and won’t make all your problems go away. I do know, that one little act provided the brain shift I needed to get me back on track.

You don’t always have to go big or go home….Small is a great start!
