As I reflect after a week in Portugal, I’m feeling grateful — for the runs in the sunshine, the conversations shared, and the chance to step out of routine.
But stepping out of routine always means a few adjustments. Meals look different, sleep isn’t always as smooth, and there’s less structure than at home.
And that’s taught me something important again: health doesn’t depend on being perfect. It depends on having simple tools you can lean on — whether that’s the 80/20 balance with food, or a little sleep trick like the cognitive shuffle when your mind won’t switch off in a new place.
✨ It’s those tiny choices, repeated wherever we are, that keep us steady and help us feel every day and bank health for the long run.
I am heading home today with tired legs, a full heart, and yet another reminder that consistency beats perfection every time.
💭 What small choice will you make for yourself this weekend?
