Gail Brindell, PsyD, is the founder and owner of WellFITT Solutions, LLC. As a single parent and retired military officer, she completed her PsyD in Psychology with a concentration in Health & Wellness.
Dr. Brindell is an Exercise Physiologist, a Chronic Pain Specialist, a Credentialed Exercise is Medicine professional, and a Certified Associative Awareness Technique practitioner. With over 35 years in the health and fitness industry in a variety of settings, her passion is helping others reconnect their minds with their bodies through movement and mindset so that they may live a healthy and happy life.
Tips:
1. Have a detailed plan that includes how you will juggle: Your self-care, your family, and your work
2. Take stock of your resources
3. Create a space for school and a place where you don’t do school
4. Be open and honest with the people you live with about your commitment, especially your kids if you are a single parent (and listen to what they have to say about how they feel)
5. Prioritize your self-care (you can’t pour from an empty cup – see Episode #3 for more on this)
6. Listen to your body
7. Self-care goes beyond taking care of your body (yep, time to take a look at your thoughts)
8. Use positive affirmations on your mirror (laugh if you want – it works! I have more to say about this in my free 7-day email adventure – see link below)
9. Learn to say NO (this is a practice)
10. Find a support system
11. Don’t judge yourself (a little self-compassion goes a long way)
12. Use kind self-talk (talk to yourself like you’re your best friend)
13. Pray (or connect with your source of power)
14. Clean up your kitchen/pantry so you can make only healthy choices!
15. Ask for help when you need it
Yes, it will be worth it. Just make sure you take care of you, so you are around to enjoy the fruits of your labor!
