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 šŸ˜‰

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

Love is love and here’s my story about Nashville Love is love and here’s my story about Nashville bc now is not the time to be silent and representation is everything

We celebrated Thanksgiving early so that @laceystonefitness and I could be in TN and in WI this week for a win win holiday situation. So here I was bringing my love Lacey home and while almost all of my family members were so incredibly warm and welcoming and loving (duh, plus they’re the only ones who actually matter) others refused to bring their children to our dinner and almost didn’t show up themselves bc, I dunno, they think being gay is contagious? Or perhaps they just wanted to ensure we weren’t being too ā€œgayā€ in front them? Whatever that means… Whatever their reasons, it’s infuriating and disrespectful. It’s hurtful and absolutely absurd. Bigotry. They’ll blame their religion, I blame their ignorance. Fear keeps them in the hate. 

My heart is heavy these days. The mass shooting at the LGBTQ club in Colorado was senseless. And are you paying attention to what’s happening in Iran? In the world? Please help me understand bc I feel hopeless.

What keeps me hopeful today and every day are the bright spots in the day. Lacey, Corriney, Quinny, my family, my friends, and you. This holiday season I am thankful for YOU reading this and for my nearest and dearest. Let’s spread more love in the world 

Love keeps you in the light. Let’s fight for the light. And for one another. #loveislove and I’ll fight for that with everything I am

My baby girl is 25 today. I cannot even comprehend My baby girl is 25 today. I cannot even comprehend time, what am I, 98?!

Corrine, I’m honored to be your mama. You’re my greatest accomplishment in life bc you are thriving and you are strong, resilient, funny, ambitious, successful, hilarious, empathetic, beautiful inside and out, and I would like to think I had something to do with that… Even though I had no idea what the hell I was doing, you took my hand (with your cutest lil baby hands) and trusted I’d get us through life and here we are still kickin’

I love you and I cannot wait to squeeze you this weekend and celebrate you and shower you with all the love I have. Happy birthday baby girl ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

PS she still takes all my money and refers to it as ā€œpetty cashā€ 🫠

Swipe through for a flash back from today on through when it all started back in 1997

Now Wisconsin’s just showing off. Fall here is m Now Wisconsin’s just showing off. Fall here is magical and we had a wholesome af time with our girl @katierinkamkerealtor at the pumpkin patch and then @laceystonefitness carved Hank + Frank and we dropped them off at the town’s Halloween square where everyone contributes their works of art to the event and we visited them and listened to live music and apparently we’re beer lovers now and also @jess_lizama has acclimated bc it was in the 40’s and we were just all willy nilly boppin’ around the grounds in a single layer singing Hokey Pokey with the cutie goblins running around 

No punctuation needed bc if you were here that’s how we’d tell it šŸ˜†šŸŽƒšŸ„³

We made a pie! One that’s ā€œIG prettyā€ and on We made a pie! One that’s ā€œIG prettyā€ and one that’s ā€œReality fuggsā€. #FallVibes we went to a family owned apple orchard with our girl Katie and picked yummy apples like the farmers we are and made a homemade apple pie

It’s a 10/10 and I’ve decided I’m opening a dessert truck called Chamorro Treats and we’ll only serve dessert, musubi, and rice. Who wants to invest?

Sharing the recipe I got off @fooddotcom that got over 300 five ā­ļø reviews in my IGS and will save to my Wisconsin highlight. Make it and lmk what you think! *add a scoop or three of vanilla ice cream *chef’s kiss

PS I noticed that a store bought apple got into my apple bag when I did the staged roll out so don’t come for me

I love you my Corriney

Yes I’ve totally made this about me bc Aries mama, but if I’ve done anything worth anything in this life, single momming it and raising you to be a wonderful human who is straight handling business and THRIVING on your own… Well I can retire from human-ing now *takes a curtsy but like, makes it cute* You are my heart. And also my carbon copy ā¤ļø

PS can we just take a moment to celebrate these tiny baby hands! And also how your littles can be so entertained by a simple cardboard box or empty laundry basket… I’m not crying you’re crying
