This is such a great project! I'm trying to focus on being positive as well. I'm sure you will get back into a routine that works for you soon. If it helps, I think you are balancing everything beautifully.

I love this project and I think it's perfect during those times that you need a little positivity push! I hope it gets easier for you to find a new routine that works for you--I'm a creature of habit and being off of my routine really throws me off sometimes too so I totally get it.

I'm so proud of you and everything that you've accomplished!! I know that it's so hard to start a new job and get into a new routine, but you'll find your stride and then this will be just a little blip in the year!! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston

I am always struggling to find balance as well, but I'm glad you really like your new job and I just love Kristen! The Steve Jobs quote is perfect. I working on that one still. xo

Over thinking is the worst!! I am so happy that this new job is working out so well for you!!

I am loving all these posts! I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed, just know that you've got this gurlie and everything is falling into place for the better. Sometimes it takes a little time to fall into a new groove, but you will I promise ;-)

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how happy I am to see you doing this post!!! Especially when you were stressed you turned to this one which just warms my little soul ;-)

You do have fantastic legs!!! I think I need to record a little thigh workout and send it to you everyday that way you could do it at your office. Ohhhhh maybe you, me and B could that together! *wheels turning*

You are amazing!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Such a great post!!!! I think everyone struggles a lot with blogging and jobs and personal lives and it's nice to see you being so honest about it!

Bahahaha! Girl! You DO have incredible legs!
Love this post!! You are so amazing! Give yourself time to adjust... you just made a major life change starting this job and it will take months to adjust and figure out your new routine! Give yourself some grace ;) I promise you'll adjust!!
(Now just remember to give me this same exact advice in a few months when I am begging for my new normal routine, and frustrated that I don't have it all together within a couple of weeks, ha!)

Hooray, I love these posts! Girl, you have so much to be proud of - I bet you're killing it at your new job, and I'm sure a schedule/routine will fall into place for you. Sometimes it just takes a while. You definitely are very determined and driven, and I admire that about you!

Love this!! It makes me so happy that you are loving your new job and I agree everything you said about Kristen! She's pretty awesome!

GIRL, this is the perfect post for you right now! Sometimes when we get overwhelmed looking at the positives in our lives helps us realize it's one day at a time and the solution will present itself. I totally can understand the gym them. When I can't go during lunch it frustrates me to no end. Maybe look into some workouts you can do at home? There are tons of free ones online and I recommend Turbo Fire from Beachbody if you want to buy something.

I agree, Kristen is pretty awesome! Have a fabulous day, lady!

This is so great to read!! I did this a few weeks back and it felt so liberating! Over thinking is seriously one of my biggest problems, but helping us realize this will help with the problem! I'm glad you found a job you love and hope the schedule works out for ya in the long run!

This project is such a great idea! Sometimes I have to step back and look at all the blessings in my life since the down times can overshadow all of that. So glad you're loving your new job!

I soooo hear you. That's my excuse for my multi-month break! Whoops!

Ugh I am working on the OCD more time for myself thing too...

i'm such an overanalyzer and try to control the world. i need to work on that too. great post lovely!

Love this -- I have a new schedule because I've taken on new responsibility at work, and blogging, which is what I loveee doing, has taken a backseat, and I hate that. Definitely needed this dose of positivity! Love!

Great post girl! You sound a lot like me, determined and controlling, but in a good way like type A personality. Sometimes it is a curse too, but it usually means we get shit done! I'm so happy for you that you are loving your new job! I'm sure you'll find some balance soon, its definitely an adjustment but good for you for making a change and doing something you really love!

You definitely needed this post and I hope you reflect on it daily! We have very similar personalities so I am sitting here nodding my head at what you are saying about your schedule. It can be really frustrating, but you just have to take time for yourself and teach yourself not to be guilty over it. Xoxoxoxo

awww I about teared up!!! You are so unbelievably sweet, seriously, gave me the warm and fuzzies <3 right back at you girl!

I am transitioning into a new role right now and already I am so much busier and don't have the time to blog during the day like I used to.. and I mean I shouldn't anyway because I'm paid to work, not blog, haha but it has left me feeling a little overwhelmed, when really I just need to adjust my expectations.

I'm sure you have thought of everything, but have you looked for a gym close to work? Maybe a planet fitness because they are cheap? My commute isn't long, 20 minutes, but when I lived in Sydney, I felt so frazzled all the time and not finding any 'me' time because I would get up at 530 to be at the gym by 6, I had to stop working out by 630 so I could shower and be on the road by 7am so I could get to work by 830... um, wtf? lol. So, I found a gym closer to work - I would get up at 6am, get to the gym just before 630, workout for an hour and some change, shower, and be at work 10 minutes later. It made the world of difference! Of course, then I would be lazy and not want to drive out near work on the weekends but you win some, you lose some. Also, my commute was mainly traffic so it was a matter of beating the traffic, rather than the distance. Anyway, you have probably thought about that or whatever but I just wanted to suggest it!

Thank you again for your lovely words, seriously made my day.. ok, it made my week. I think we are all too hard on ourselves, expecting so much out of ourselves until we just can't handle it anymore! I hope you are kinder to yourself and find some me time soon :)

And yes, your legs are KILLER fabulous. In a non creepy way ;)

I always see you talk about taking the SunRail and I don't know how you do that commute! But if you love what you do, I assume the commute is a small price to pay! :)

This sounds like a great project! I really love the concept!

Deep breaths, you got this girl! Finding a balance isn't always easy but it's always necessary. I love all of the things you said about yourself!

I love this positivity chain! Hang in there with the new job and I'm sure you'll be in a routine in no time!

Finding a new routine is so hard, especially when you are limited in time. I'm so OCD and a control freak and feel the same way about the gym. It's hard to have things out of your control, but you are determined and driven and will figure it out! You got this girl!

Love the quote from Steve Jobs... Even though the new schedule is probably hard to adjust to, you have so much to be thankful for! Hope you get to find your balance and make it all work for you. I struggle with the same life/work/blogging balance and sometimes it's best to take a break and reevaluate. Stay strong, positive, and beautiful as you are!

So love reading all of these positivity porjects and so happy you wrote this when you were feeling down. You soon will find a schedule and everything else will fall into place :)

I can't even imagine starting a new job and having so many changes to your routine and still completely rocking your blog-- which you are doing! You always have such amazing and inspiring posts and I seriously wish you could be my personal shopper!

Kristen really is a sweet girl! Love her! I need to do one of these as well, I too feel overwhelmed these days!
