Over the past two years my Saturday Mornings have followed this usual pattern.
My Saturday mornings are my "me time". They give me an opportunity to dive into my passions: Self-Care, Coffee, Education, Fitness, and Style. The routine is a sacred one. However, the predictability of my Saturdays have been disrupted by the great quarantine of 2020. These are wild times we are living in and the social distancing has required me adapt to my new Saturdays. Today was the first Saturday of Quarantine. I had the usual impulsive itch to jump out of bed and run my usual routine, but I was reminded of my cloistered status: no leaving the house, no countertop sitting at Starbucks, no long workout at the gym, and no rummaging through the racks at the ARC. I woke up with chains on my freedom, but instead of growing anxious I decided to make due. Here was my Saturday.
My first quarantined Saturday morning departed from my beloved Saturday routine. But overall, it was a nice departure and a new pace. Being quarantined has forced me to get out of my self-enforced routine and I am feeling grateful for it.

I love how you incorporate a workout in your daily schedule. We need to strengthen our immune system, especially now that there is a threat to our health. There are times when I do not have the motivation to work out, but whenever I do, what motivates me to constantly show up for my workout routine is the thought that I am doing this to be healthier. I have always wanted to shed these extra pounds off of my body. One of my mistakes before is that I always want to rush things. Whenever I do not see results right away, it discourages me from continuing with my fitness journey. I later realized that you cannot expect to succeed overnight. All good things come to those who wait, indeed. What motivates me is knowing that I will be more comfortable in my skin after all my hard work and it will give me the confidence boost I so desperately seek.

It's great to see that you were able to adapt to the quarantine and still find ways to enjoy your Saturday morning routine. It's important to find ways to continue practicing self-care and maintaining a routine, even if it looks different than before. Your "Get Your Shit Together" hour is a great way to make necessary chores more fun and manageable.

It sounds like you've adapted well to the changes brought on by quarantine! It's important to have a routine, but it's also important to be able to be flexible and adapt when necessary. It's important to find ways to take care of ourselves and maintain a sense of normalcy during these uncertain times. Keep up the good work!
