5-9 After my 9-5

As a corporate girlie immersed in the 9-to-5 world, I'd like to share my approach to the 5-to-9, those precious hours when I disconnect from work and focus on personal well-being.

Move: After shutting down my laptop, my top priority is getting my body in motion. Whether that’s signing up for a workout class, going for a long walk, or simply following a quick workout routine on YouTube - its important to get my body moving after sitting behind a computer screen all day long.

Cook Dinner: I find joy in experimenting with new recipes. Following a satisfying workout, I cook a hearty dinner focusing on an essential balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats.

Unwind: Detaching from the corporate world can come in many forms, but my favorite is a series of calming rituals. I indulge in a lengthy shower, set the ambiance with a lit candle, make a cup of tea, and immerse myself in a good book. During this time, I make a conscious effort to distance myself from the relentless world of social media.

These rituals help me transition from the demands of the workday to a peaceful and restorative evening.
