Things I stopped doing as a plastic surgeon in my 40s committed to aging well 👇
1. Being unintentional and inconsistent with a skin care routine. Even just consistently committing to a few really good hydrating and regenerating products every night has made a huge difference in how my skin looks
2. Not tracking how I was fueling my body. I Love knowing every day that I’m getting enough protein and nutrition to support all of my fitness and body composition goals (thanks to a nutrition tracker). I have so much more energy overall when I’m eating well
3. Going nonstop without carving out time to rest and reset. Even finding 10 minutes every day to just breathe in silence makes me feel emotionally ready for anything. Plus, consistently sleeping at least 7 hours every night has been the biggest mood stabilizer
4. Not fully appreciating the magic of what our bodies can do. So grateful for how good it feels to watch my body really push itself to the limits and bounce back from trauma stronger than it’s ever been ✨
