How to Start Prioritizing Your Health (Even with a Full Plate)
How to Start Prioritizing Your Health (Even with a Full Plate) – Angela Waldie, CNP 🥗✨
If you're a busy woman juggling work 💼, home life 🏡, relationships 💕, and an endless to-do list 📋 — while wondering why you still feel off — you're not alone.
For so many women, prioritizing health feels like just another thing to add to the list. You're exhausted 😴, you’ve tried eating better 🥦, maybe even started a workout routine 🏋️♀️, but nothing seems to stick — and your body is still sending you signals that something isn’t quite right.
The truth? Your health doesn't need perfection. It needs your attention 👀 — even in small, meaningful ways.
Here’s how you can start prioritizing your health, even when your plate already feels full: 🍽️
1. Redefine What "Healthy" Looks Like for You 🌱
Too often, women are sold the idea that being healthy means green juices 🥒, 5 a.m. workouts ⏰, or a perfectly balanced routine ⚖️.
But the truth is — health is personal.
If you're in a season of life where you're constantly giving to others 🤲, your version of healthy might be:
Eating one nourishing meal a day without multitasking 🥘
Drinking enough water 💧 to support your energy
Saying “no” ❌ to something so you can say “yes” ✅ to rest 🛌
Start where you are and build from there. Small, consistent steps have far more power than all-or-nothing overhauls.
2. Tune Into the Signals Your Body is Sending 🩺
Many of the women I work with come to me saying things like:
💬 "I’m tired all the time, but I can’t sleep."
💬 "I feel bloated, anxious 😟, or just not myself."
💬 "My doctor says everything is normal, but I know something is off."
These symptoms aren’t random — they’re your body’s way of asking for help 🚨.
Learning to listen 👂 to those messages is the first step to healing. You don’t need to figure it out on your own — you just need someone who can help decode the signals and offer a path forward.
3. Create Pockets of Nourishment in Your Day ☀️
When time is tight ⏳, it’s easy to skip meals, ignore hydration 🚱, or delay rest 💤. But you don’t need a 90-minute routine to support your body — you need moments of nourishment.
Here are a few ways to start:
A grounding breakfast 🍳 with protein and healthy fats 🥑
A 5-minute walk 🚶♀️ in fresh air 🌿 between tasks
A warm herbal tea ☕ in the evening instead of scrolling 📱
A few deep breaths 🌬️ before your next meeting 🗓️
These might seem small, but they create powerful shifts in your nervous system and energy ⚡.
4. Ask for Support (It’s Not a Sign of Weakness) 🤝
If you’ve been carrying the weight of your household 🏠, your job 💼, and your health 🧠 — silently — it’s time to shift the story.
You don’t have to do it all.
You don’t have to figure it out alone 🛟.
And you’re not “failing” if you feel like you’ve lost yourself in the process.
Support is what allows you to show up for others without abandoning yourself ❤️.
5. Make a Plan That Works with Your Life, Not Against It 📆
One-size-fits-all advice doesn’t work when your life is anything but average.
You deserve a plan that’s:
Based on your real life and schedule 🕰️
Tailored to your health goals 🎯 and symptoms
Flexible enough to grow with you over time 🌸
That’s exactly what I offer in my personalized nutrition sessions 🥗 — a root-cause approach that honors your body, your season of life, and your goals.
You Deserve to Feel Like Yourself Again 🌟
Prioritizing your health isn't selfish — it's essential 💖.
And it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It starts with listening to your body 👂, honoring your needs 🌷, and giving yourself permission to begin.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to support you 💌.
