Working on my goals keeps me up at night but with the challenges I faced, I had to stay up longer. Not getting enough sleep isn't a good thing but the night was the only time I could work or think without interruptions. In order to stay healthy I had to catch up on some sleep during the day. 

I realized I needed to know when to take breaks and when not to force my body to do things. Even though I stayed up at night longer I also took breaks to rest when a particular task or emergency was over. 

I also took time to relax my mind by watching movies or comedies or giving myself treats like satisfying my cravings and shopping for clothes from time to time.

My daughter started school and I had to wake up early to prepare her for school. As a content creator, I enjoyed sleeping till about 9am and sometimes midday when there's someone else to make breakfast for the kids. But this changed when school runs came into the picture. When I slept late and woke up in the morning feeling tired, I could only catch up on sleep after I took my daughter to school.  

Longer time in the shower, more time alone with myself, eating alone - just doing things which I normally do with my kids alone. The kids are always clingy but since they are no longer babies I could leave them a few minutes with someone else just to take a break. It was great for my mental health. 

This is how my lifestyle changed last year. And you? Are there any lifestyle changes you made?
