Put Yourself On A TIME OUT

September 10, 2019

This past week I’ve fully immersed myself into my work and a secret passion project of mine that I can’t wait to share with you. Side note: it’s weird when other people say ‘secret project’ and it’s still weird when I say it, but I promise it’s a fun one! And since I don’t see this slowing down for another week or two three, I thought I’d share with you what is keeping me sane throughout the process of sitting alone for hours, in a dimly lit room, with resources and research. Also, this is a plea for snacks.

Here’s the deal, I go go go and admittedly I am a WORKAHOLIC. Okay, fine, I said it. I love my work though, so it’s nice to be in the zone, like really in it. It’s also nice to come up for air from time to time and though I don’t break enough throughout the day, there’s one thing I’m like, really good at. Self care and putting myself on a time out.

I’ve even been really quiet on social media if you’ve noticed … if you haven’t noticed than maybe you’ve been really quiet too. Feels good right?! We can go a lil lot crazy when you work from home, secluded, with little interactions from other humans.

It’s completely normal to fully lose your shit

No matter where we are in life or in our careers, we’re go go go , we grind grind grind, we hustle hustle hustle. How could we not lose our shit right? *I’m feeling a bit preachy right now but as I currently write to you I’m in a top knot, on my couch, in my pj’s, at 4:28pm, having had only a pb&jelly sammich all day, and going going going… hence I’m feeling a bit preachy

So here’s a few things I love to do to put myself on a time out. It’s hard to do sometimes because you get so focused, but do it anyway. Even if it’s just ten minutes, or at the end of your day, hit pause and TIME OUT

 

get it out- write it out, scream it out, whatever you’ve gotta do to let the thoughts out, let em out. As human we like to play things on a loop until we can’t make sense of them as they are so then, oh wow, plot twist, our brain has formulated it’s own new ending to that story/conversation/moment/interaction

dance it out- ugh I love doing this so much. Do you watch my stories? Have you seen me break out into a mid day dance party? This is why! Our thoughts, moods, feelings all turn into energy and that energy can either be stagnant or it can be BIG and we can use it to shift our day.

SHIFT THAT SHIT

treat yo self- time out for real for some self care pampering time!- I’m all about that ‘me time’ pampering time! I love doing skin care masks, ya know, the ones that make you look crazy *insert The Office epi where Dwight is trying to perform CPR on the dummy* I love taking baths, having a few glasses of wine (who ever in life, do you know, STOPS after A glass of wine? no one that’s who), adding in some bubbles, turning on some tunes, and throwing in some relaxing bath bombs.

be still- gross I hate this one but it’s the most EFFECTIVE one! Being still, taking it slowly, doing some yoga, meditating, reading a damn book, going for a quite hike, all the things that settle your mind and calm your spirit. Do it. I promise you’ll get after it so much more focused afterwards.

and if you still lose your shit, that’s cool too. We’re human, it’s normal

What are some things you do to put yourself on a time out? I need to do more of this, more frequently, send your recs. Oh and the snacks too, this is still a public plea for those 😉

Welcome! I’m Jess, I was a teen mom turned full-time lifestyle blogger and content creator. I started this blog about 8 years ago because I love sharing my life with you. Today, my daughter Corrine and I travel around sharing our foodie adventures and style selects. I talk about my mom life, the realness of relationships, the reality of having a 23 year old daughter (hey empty nest syndrome), and my work as a wellness Coach. We’ll cook together, cry together and sweat together. I’ll be your dessert enabler and fellow skincare addict. Let’s eat the good stuff and push through the rough stuff. Love, Mama Lizama <3

I’m just trying to remain a vampire over here, this is 39. It’s easy too, ALL I do is my morning and evening skincare routines, sleep, water, vitamins, hydration, circulation, sun screen, and a partridge in a pear tree

I kid! Promise it’s not that dramatic. I’m sharing my mask-wearing-problematic-skincare routine with you over on my blog {linked in my bio} and all things Gua Shaaaaa *woosaaaaa baby* @oseamalibu I’m lookin’ at you on this one!

So tell me, do you gua sha or face roll with ice? Oh that sounds fancy

Monday mood: noods. This is me today sans noodles. Monday mood: noods. This is me today sans noodles. And makeup. And ringlight. I’m basically a foot right now

So being productive on a day where I’d rather be a potato requires me to negotiate with myself. Up on my blog now {linked in my bio} are the three things that clutter my day and how I tackle them like a pro line backer

“Complexity is the enemy of execution” - Tony Robbins. Isn’t that the truth! Check it out and let me know what time management tools you use, share with me and let’s all be potatoes together. Productive potatoes <3

So angsty... sharing what my past relationships ha So angsty... sharing what my past relationships have taught me over on my blog. Sucksville SUCKS I know. 🎶When your heart just shatters, too many pieces to pick it up, smiling through the pain…

“Don't give up on love when it doesn't work out the first time
Close your eyes and trust that you gotta get low to get high
The world's full of second chances, you gotta keep on dancing”

Don’t give up on anything for that matter. Traveling through Sucksville sucks but you've gotta put one foot in front of the other, walk (or sprint) through it, feel it, heal it, and learn from it. Love, me - the girl who’s been married twice and some how kept truckin’ right along long enough to share my deep thoughts with you. Did I leave anything out? {linked in my bio} ❤️

P.S. no I’m not single again, this is a rough season for some and I’m just sharing my two cents xx
A lil pick me up. Feeling like a normal human bean A lil pick me up. Feeling like a normal human bean after getting my hair trimmed with some flare by @byemilyhedicke! She called it “adding some fun” and it was all funs

Thank you Emily for taking care of us and ensuring we felt safe and calm throughout this craze... masks on, tunes up! You are a national treasure

There’s a lot happening in our world, I hope you can find some calm in your day and maybe a lil somethin somethin that perks you up. A) strong af coffee B) fresh hair cut C) mezcal on the rocks D) tv time on the couch in your pjs Z) a good book + a brownie .... what are you having???

The re-introduction is real! Sharing some deep div The re-introduction is real! Sharing some deep dive topics and fun facts about me up on my blog. Whether you knew them or not, hello again you <3

I think if we can share more about what makes us up as a real human bean- what makes us tick, the deep traumas and our life wins... that we can all be more empathetic to one another. Are you out there? Yes I said human bean

Linked in my bio {JessLizama.com} : my relationships, the glam, the NOT so glam, the real ishh. It’s all there, mostly. More importantly you’re here. I’m here. Being good human beans to one another ❤️

Proud girlfriend moment over here! @thezoereport n Proud girlfriend moment over here! @thezoereport named @laceystonefitness’s Zoom classes as one of the top 7 best virtual workout finds of 2020 and I’m so proud to be a part of Lacey’s legacy and this squad and among all of these other incredible instructors like @toneitup @bodybysimone @ashleybordenfitness @allymisslove with @onepeloton to name a few!

If you haven’t tried our virtual full-body bootcamp yet, we got you! We teach every Tuesday at 8 a.m., Friday at 8 a.m. and Saturday at 8:30 a.m. PST! Registration for next week's classes is in my bio link and if you DM now, 3 lucky winners will get 1 FREE Zoom class on us! (Can't make it live? That's okay! You can register and get the playback link later. We’ve got you covered Zoom parenting!)

2020 brought many things but a bright spot for me was waking up each day to Lacey and watching you all enter the Zoom room as we made LSF headquarters the place to be! The at-home gym that we thought would only last a few classes turned into 135 Zoom boom booms with YOU. Thank you for trusting us with your head, heart, and physical wellness and thank you @thezoereport for the inclusion <3
