21 Days to Relaxation Challenge!
Welcome to the 21 Days to Relaxation Challenge!
Hello fellow MILSO! It is so good to have you here! Welcome to the 21 Days to Relaxation Challenge! We am so excited to share with you! After all self-care is so important!
Why is this so important??
Let us lay a scenario out for you. The alarm rings and you hit the snooze for the third time. Any minute the kids will be up, so you drag yourself out of bed. You stayed up way too late last night cleaning and finishing the report due for work, and then the baby was up several times with teething issues. You are exhausted and stressed, but you have no choice – you start your day.
Next comes breakfast, getting the kids ready for school, checking and rechecking backpacks, packing lunches and carpool. Add in calling to confirm the plumber, doctor appointments for physicals, preschool drop off, work, meetings, preschool pickups, and finally lunch. That’s just before noon! By the time it’s bedtime for the kiddos, you are even more exhausted, but there is still more to do.
After all, your spouse is gone once again.
The stress of military life has taken control of your lives. You tell yourself that you can handle anything; that it isn’t too long before you will get help again and once they get home, then you will take some time to yourself. However, you can feel yourself unraveling very slowly. You need a break and some time to breathe, but how can you possibly fit that into your hectic life?
Does This Sound Like You?
- Feeling run down or “running on fumes”?
- Handling everything in your life on your own?
- High levels of anxiety or stress weighing you down?
- Need practical tips on how to best help you “relax”?
Then this challenge is MADE for YOU!
No matter the length of deployment (or even if you are not experiencing a deployment right now), this 21 day challenge is something get you on the right foot no matter what challenges you may be facing. And we are here for you the entire time! —like a best friend pushing you along!
Each week for three weeks, you will be given some amazing tools that you can then continue on your own. After all, they say it only takes 21 days to start a habit! Let’s make it a good one!
