Healing Isn't Linear.

And we´re BACK (MIA, burnout, health updates, etc)

Hey yaĺl,

It´s been a while...more than a while actually, but who´s counting?

A lot has happened since my last check in on this blog. There have been many life changes, ranging from good to horrible, that required some (a lot of) adjusting. I´m still adjusting and coming to terms with certain events that transpired, but, you know what? I´m still here. So...we move (no matter how burnt out we are).

Speaking of changes...some of said changes have been health-related, one of which is being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). My symptoms have been especially out of wack these past few weeks, so I decided I need to get back on my ZOOM. What better way to do that than to be active within this lovely community again?

Apart from the PCOS, I really want to work on improving my physical and mental health as a whole. I will be making another post with the specific health goals I am aiming to accomplish this year.

I plan on posting about my daily workouts again and will start including posts about my meals as well.

Additionally, I am looking for more fitness/wellness blogs to follow. So definitely like this post/follow me if that fits your description. I would love to be mutuals and motivate each other. :) Bonus points if you also have PCOS. It would be amazing to have more people with similar goals and similar experiences to bless my timeline. lol

Until Later.

I am excited about the person I am becoming.

23 April 2023- Reset

So, I know it’s been a while...

I’m sorry for not being consistent with posting on here. It’s been a really rough few months. 

There are multiple sources of the stress I’ve been experiencing, both in my personal life and at work. 

I’ve been really depressed and lonely and have been dealing with a lot of anxiety.

I haven’t been to the gym in several months, so I haven’t even had much to report here anyway...

I’ve been feeling horrible about myself and I feel like my life has been very stagnant. It also doesn’t help that my birthday was just a few days ago. I feel like this has added to the existential dread I’ve been experiencing this weekend...

I know I need to start taking care of myself again. It’s just really hard sometimes.

But, I intend to start doing that. I’m going to treat this coming week as a reset. 

Starting tomorrow, I’m going to restart my health and fitness goals. I’m going to start going to the gym again and incorporate more nutrient-dense foods into my diet. I’m going to start focusing on myself and my needs more. I’m going to revisit the vision board I made for this year and remind myself about the intentions I, originally, had for 2023 (before stuff started going to shit). I’m going to start journaling again. I’m going to become re-attuned to my spirituality and more proactive with my spiritual practices (e.g., manifesting, cleansing, meditating, etc.). I’m going to start trusting myself again and working on improving my intuition. I’m going to be more consistent with self-care. I’m going to continue to go to therapy and heal. 

I’ll do whatever it takes to start feeling better again.

Reblog if it's okay to befriend you, ask questions, ask for advice, rant, vent, let something off your chest, or just have a nice chat.

THE SELF LOVE REMEDY

Self love is sometimes taking the time to know thy self daily.

Self love is sometimes standing back and watching the ride.

Self love is sometimes walking away.

Self love is sometimes acceptance.

Self love is sometimes forgiveness (of others and yourself)

Self love is sometimes loving you more

Self love is something putting you first.

Self love is sometimes taking a day off.

Self love is sometimes saying no and meaning it.

Self love is sometimes just asking for what you want.

Self love is sometimes deciding to consciously make moves in silence.

Self love sometimes means telling the truth (to yourself and others)

Self love is the inner understanding that your time will come, so you patiently wait your turn.

Self love sometimes looks like showing up and being yourself unapologetically, no matter how uncomfortable it makes others feel.

Self love is sometimes blocking, muting, unfollowing things and people that no longer service you.

Self love sometimes looks like speaking out.

Self love is sometimes telling people fuck off, when necessary. 

January will be filled with happiness.

January will be filled with blessings.

January will be filled with positivity.

January will be filled with progress.

January will be filled with kindness.

January will be filled with opportunity.

January will be filled with love.

Unlearning your own toxic patterns to become a better ‘you’ is self-care.
