Hey everybody, I am recording today's Parent Lean In episode as a solo cast and It's a very short and simple question that I'm going to be tackling, but it's actually a question I get asked in different forms a lot. So I thought I would tackle it for this episode. And that question is, what do I do to recharge and have me time? So I got this question I thought kind of self-care-ish, but also what does it actually look like in practice? The things that I do. So I'm going to share some of my strategies with you today. And not just strategies for, you know, specific uh conscious maintenance, as I call it things to do, but actually ways that I think about recharging and restoring my energy supplies and just kind of the way that I navigate that.
So that's what I'm going to talk about today. So let's take our quick break now. And when I come back, I'm going to share some of my best practices with you.
Imagine setting your makeup, then forgetting it's even there. Meet New Grippy Setting Mist from Maybelline, New York.
What question does Debbie answer about recharging and “me time”?
Gelda Mist Technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible, all-day comfy grip. No tightness, no stickiness, no residue. Just plump, dewy, hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. Try new Grippy Setting Mist from Maybelline, New York. Maybe it's Maybelline.
Okay, so the first thing I'm just gonna say off the bat is the physical piece. So I go on a lot of walks. I think of David Sederis, who I don't know, walks like thirty thousand steps a day or more. Um, I'm not quite that high, but I do like to walk. It's a way that I process. Sometimes I walk with a podcast, sometimes I walk with a book on tape. I don't usually walk and listen to music. Sometimes I just go without any kind of device and just go for a walk. I tend to walk fast. I try to walk for get a couple miles in, but just kind of as a way to process, especially if I've had a rough day, I will go out for a walk. I don't usually walk in the mornings. I will do it kind of towards the end of the day before dinner just to kind of shake off
what's going on so I can kind of transition and get recentered. So walking, I also have started maybe six months ago doing restorative yoga once a week. In fact, as I record this, I am leaving for my yoga class in about an hour. And it has been transformational for me just to have 90 minutes once a week where I actually focus on my breathing. I get so kind of honed in on paying attention to the breath and the movements that we're doing in the poses. that it's really the only time that I can shut off my brain. I can't meditate that does not work for me. That actually turns my brain on and makes a lot of dialogue happen in my head. But yoga That tends to really work for me, at least this restore class. And then I'm a runner.
