Everything’s Just So Crazy Right Now (5 Ways to Reclaim Your Life)

Life’s busy. We’ve all heard the refrain (maybe even sung it ourselves): “Everything’s just so crazy right now.” Thank you, Beyoncé. 🤣

But seriously. It’s a sentiment many of us use to justify putting off important self-care habits. Now what if we flipped the script? What if we accepted that life is always going to be busy and instead focused on finding ways to care for ourselves amidst the chaos?

✅ In this post, we’ll explore why it’s so important to prioritize your health no matter how hectic life feels and share five simple, actionable steps to help you do just that.

Why “Crazy Right Now” Is the New Normal

It’s no secret that life is full of obligations—work, kids, errands, social commitments—the list is endless. It’s easy to feel like there’s no room left for you. But here’s the truth: waiting for life to “calm down” is a losing battle.

Life will always have its demands, but your health can’t wait. Neglecting it now may mean you’re unable to meet those demands in the future.

🙌 As the saying goes, “You only get one body to live in—so take care of it.”

5 Ways to Reclaim Your Life and Health

Even when things feel overwhelming, small steps can make a big difference. Here are five practical strategies to help you prioritize yourself:

1. End Your Dinner with a Toothbrush

This simple habit can signal to your brain that you’re done eating for the day, reducing the temptation for late-night snacking. Plus, who doesn’t love minty fresh breath?

🪥 Why it works:

It creates a physical cue that the eating window is closed.
Brushing your teeth reduces cravings for sweets or snacks.

2. Establish an Accountability Partner

Find a friend or family member who will join you in your health journey. Use tools like my FREE monthly habit trackers (sign up for my mailing list to get yours at the end of this month!) to stay consistent and keep each other motivated.

👯‍♀️ Why it works:

Accountability increases your chances of sticking with a habit.
Tracking your progress helps you see how small wins add up over time.

3. Get a Good Night’s Rest

Sleep is essential for physical and mental recovery, yet so many of us skimp on it. Create a bedtime routine that helps you wind down and stick to a consistent schedule.

🛌 Why it works:

Sleep improves focus, mood, and overall health.
Establishing a nighttime routine reduces stress and sets you up for success the next day.

4. Pick a Quick Workout and Stick to It

Don’t overcomplicate your fitness routine. Choose a short, accessible workout and commit to doing it consistently—whether it’s 5 minutes or 30 minutes.

🏋️‍♀️ Why it works:

Consistency builds the habit of exercising regularly.
Short workouts can be just as effective as longer ones when done with intensity.

5. Focus on Being 1% Better Each Day

You don’t need to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight. Start small. Each decision you make is a “vote” toward the person you want to become. Commit to being just 1% better today than you were yesterday.

🙂 Why it works:

Small, incremental changes are sustainable.
Over time, these small improvements compound into meaningful transformation.

💡 Bottom Line

Life is always going to be crazy—that’s the baseline. But that doesn’t mean your health should take a backseat. By embracing small, intentional habits, you can take control of your well-being no matter how chaotic life feels. Remember: the key isn’t perfection; it’s progress.
