Physical Health - Blog Posts

AAAA IM ALIVE

So, to begin I want to say I’m sorry for not posting about my DR in a lil bit, the past two weeks I’ve been really struggling with my chronic anxiety and illness, so I have been in a lot of pain and haven’t been motivated to write much :[ but!

I’m doing much much better now and I’ll probably post tomorrow for the poll that we did!! thank you guys for your patience, I love this community and fandoms so much and I wanna be involved but sometimes media gets a bit too much for me

have a great day/evening to everyone and see you tomorrow!!

What I find isn’t appreciated enough when it comes to shifting

TW: chronic illness and chronic mental health

So I have chronic anxiety and clinical depression, along with other various physical health difficulties including intestinal issues and extreme periods (most of which almost lead to going to the hospital, it takes two weeks out of every month of my life) I’ve been examined by countless doctors, therapists, psychologists, and no one knew how to fix me, all they said was I would have to live with it and find coping skills to function “normally” in society

so with that in mind, life sometimes gets ridiculously complicated and difficult, and I hate the fact that I have to live with it, but that’s when I realized *I don’t*

I am a manifestor and shifter, how the hell could I forget that? I honestly am so thankful for scripting and for shifting because in so many realities I don’t have to deal with this burden, I can live freely and enjoy life and not have to worry if a meal will send me to the ER

I really feel like people glaze over the fact that we have SO MUCH POWER and so much potential, I think it’s important to show our appreciation to that, I appreciate it so dearly

Whenever I have a pain spike or an anxiety attack, I just repeat I am in control over my reality, I am the master of the 4d, I am safe, over and over and then it goes away. As of recently, it’s been getting better using these robotic affirmations, and I’m so happy I cry thinking about it

4 years worth of constant pain, no matter what I could do, thinking I would live like this forever, and here I am a few weeks/months and I found what works to save myself

I hope whoever reads this finds hope in my experience, especially to those who share my burdens

good night and happy shifting to all 🩷✨🫶

My goals: until I actually step foot into school and feel the will to try leave my body

My yearning for creativity has been so strong lately, but it's like my compass isn't tuned. I'm craving the creative process but I feel stuck in the initiation phase. There are so many projects and crafts that I could do....Need a crafting session with some friends STAT.

Miles!

Okay, here is where I will post a question. Does anyone use MapMyFitness? I don't do the big challenges they offer as I'm not exactly in ... the condition.. to participate effectively but, I do enjoy tracking the miles of my walks, hikes, and stuff like bicycle rides. I just think it would be neat to have someone there again to share with. It can be a fun little motivational boost as well. Meh... the question is here. Maybe someday it will prove useful. hahaha

RAWR!

I hope all you humans are having some fun today. Me? Oh, I got to do a yard chore that required the use of a sledgehammer so yes... I am doing quite well today. When one can use a sledgehammer to be productive, it's good mental and physical health... as long as you don't hit yourself that is. hahaha

https://href.li/?https://fitbod.app.link/FlzACgP6lob

Try 3 free workouts specifically tailored to you with my code! The best part of using this app is the at-home work out plans!

This app lets you track your progress and links up to your smart phone and smart watches, so even when you aren’t working out and using the app - all of your physical activity is still being tracked. I use the reminder setting where I have the app remind me of my personal goals and lets me hold myself accountable!

You are not hard to love or difficult because of you mental, physical illness or disability. It is not your fault and others should provide kindness and support in any way they are able.

You deserve love and you will be loved. Your illness does not define you, or make you any less of a person. Never allow anyone to make you feel otherwise 💖

May i talk about what i learned today at class? It's aboout some injuries, basic if yoou want to call an ambulance and help them to send who you need to inste of the whole hospital. Also, as a writer, i think this would help some, it's shallow knowlodgement, but when you're new writing small things can help.

This can be quite long so if you don't have the time i sujest you to read it later.

Bones

we have 5-6 tipes of bones. I just learned 5, so here's a small resume:

Flat bones: The head/cranium bones. Long bones: They are exactly as they sound, large in size, like the femur. Small bones: Small and square, like the fingers's bones. Irregular bones: Bones with a strange appearance, such as vertebrae. Elongated bones: Long, but flat and without a central canal. Like the ribs.

For the more technical part, bones are exactly what we think and maybe a little more. But for the most part, they serve to support the body and protect vital organs. Like lungs, brain, heary, and others.

And actually, bones are a tissue. They are a rigid, highly specialized form of connective tissue. Also, they carry minerals like calcium and phosphorus and are responsable for making blood cells like white, red blood cells and platelets.

Our bones naturally have mini cracks, you move, they wear out and they make mini cracks. But they are not harmful.

Curiosity: the older you get, the fewer bones in your cranium you have, because they join together into one. And when you are a baby your bones are not completely formed, like your fingers. A baby's fingers don't have proper bones yet, they develop over time.

Injuries. Fractures and dislocation.

This is basically a summary of the summary.

First, how does a bone break? That's quite simple to anwser.

Remember the lil cracks in our bones? Well, If you do a lot of movement and don't give yourself time to recover, especially if you do sports, the crack tends to get bigger. When this crack gets bigger and you apply too much force, your bone breaks.

But this can happen not where you hit it, but in another place. For example, you apply a lot of force at the beginning of the calf, but the bone breaks in the middle of it. Why? Because the crack was bigger in the middle of the calf.

Now, we have two tipes of broke bones. The open and the closed fracture.

Open fracture: Again, the name is straightforward. An open fracture is when you can see the person's bone after it breaks. The flesh breaks, and the bones comes out. This is a open fracture.

Closed fracture: When someone's bone broke but their flesh didn't. The broken part bends, but you don't see the bone, just a vomule left where it broke.

How to help the person before calling an ambulance, or taking them in the car if the health service is not free.

Exposed: See if arterial blood, which is darker, similar to wine, is coming out. Try to stop the bleeding and make sure the exposed bone is not tearing any other part. Don't let the exposed part move and try to calm the person. Panic causes your heart to speed up and send more blood which causes blood loss and eventual fainting or death from blood loss. Closed: Keep the person in the same position as he fell when the bone was broken, do not move the area or allow the injured person or anyone else to move in that area. Try to calm the person to alleviate the pain and call the ambulance.

When call the ambulance, say what happend. Exposed or not fracture, what the type of bool if theres any, and the area of the body where it's broken.

Joints

The main joints are the patella and labrum. The patella is the knee and the labrum is the shoulder.

There's just one thing you need to know about joints. If it hasn't ruptured, the tendency is for it to always return to its place. "The patella has dislocated" The doctor will put it back in its place without even needing anesthesia, because it hasn't ruptured.

BUT that doesn't mean you're going to move around and try to put it back in place, leave that to the doctor. Call an ambulance or take the person in your car and tell them that he dislocated the connection between this bone and that bone, or as you know it, knee, shoulder, elbow, etc.

Dislocating a bone will never happen in the middle of it, because to dislocate a bone it has to come out of place, and this only happens if the joint comes out of place and takes the bone out of where it is.

Fun fact, Joints not only have the function of moving your body, but also of stopping certain parts where they are. Your foot just doesn't reach your nose because your knee stops it.

Skull and Ribs.

First, the skull. Your entire skull has just one purpose, to protect the head mass and eyes.

Your nose and cheekbones are there to cushion the impact so they don't reach your eyes. If you don't damage your eyes, your nose and cheekbones would probably be broken first.

Your forehead has the same function. It was made like a bumper to cushion the impact before it hits your brain.

If your skull is dented, congratulations, you broke it and you should see a doctor immediately. Call an ambulance and tell them in which part of the head the blow happened and how deep it seems, one, two fingers or more, if it goes beyond five fingers, ask them to hurry, this is a serious injury. And remember, all skull fractures should be closed. if it's not, then you should fly down the hospital.

A crack in the skull, or superficial break, without denting, can be identified by the intense headache.

Now, the ribs. Believe it or not, ribs were meant to be broken. They are the buffer for the lungs and heart.

We have twelve ribs on each side, making a total of twenty-four of them. And they were made to be broken. The problem with breaking your ribs isn't that they're broken, it's that they puncture your organs. In fact, when you do recussitation with your hands, you will probably break your ribs in the process.

Many people also break ribs without knowing it and don't realize it until they feel the discomfort and pain when breathing. But now, in recovery, it's been one to two months without making any effort or moving the area suddenly, and the pain will last ALL the time until the end of recovery. If not, it takes longer to heal. Or - in the worst case scenario - your rib could crack or break again, and puncture your organs.

The question of recognizing a broken rib will depend on the individual, because a broken rib is a fracture closed inwards, targeting organs, such as the skull. It is recognized by the sinking in the chest and the pain when breathing. Again, this happens because the ribs are bumpers, so they will stop the impact to some extent.

Curiosity: Some gymnasts remove their ribs to have more flexibility, or for aesthetic reasons. You can live without them, but your organs are neglected.

Calls to ambulance

Now let's review everything for when we need to call an ambulance.

Open fracture: Stops the bleeding, do not allow the bone to hurt any other part, call the ambulance and tell them where the fracture is and whether it is large or not. Calm the injured person to reduce bleeding.

Closed fracture: Do not allow movement of the broken area and try to keep it exactly as it is. Call the ambulance and tell them where the fracture was.

Dislocation: Do not allow the area to be moved until the ambulance arrives. Call the ambulance, tell them it was a displacement and tell them where it was, if possible tell the name of the joint.

Broken skull: Place the head in a soft but not elevated place. Check whether the skull is dented and in which part, and whether or not the person is conscious. If she is, say this and check if she has a severe headache. Tell everything to the ambulance when calliung it, a broken head is no joke and every detail can be important.

Broken ribs: Don't let the chest be moved until the ambulance arrives, try to see how many ribs were broken without touching them. See if they are deep and if the person is breathing. Call the ambulance and tell them everything, remember if you see the ribs tell them to speed up.

Believe me this helps. If someone desperate calls the ambulance and gives the wrong information or in the wrong way, it could mean a life or more. Yours may have been a crash that caused non-fatal or harmful cuts, and on the other side there may be a worse case that will be left aside because you gave the information desperately and incorrectly.

Paramedics will send you the equivalent of your problem, knowing your problem can save your life and someone else's.

And if you're just a writer, congratulations, now you know the basics of understanding the fractures of your perosages and what to do about them.

Daily Check-In: May 26, 2025 🎀

Hello lovelies <3

Today is going to be a very relaxing, restorative day, as I have work tomorrow and had a really rough night last night. Nothing too difficult or too set in stone for me. Just a todo list of things I WANT to do today that'll benefit me the best.

This summer so far, I've been indulging in hobbies, which is what I plan on spending all day today doing!

ToDo Today (May 26) 🌻

watercolor painting practice

color a full page in one of my coloring books

list a few more clothing items on depop

wash dishes

job search, just a little bit

budget the money I'm getting later this week

Life Update: 5/26/25

Hello lovelies, long time no see, at least it feels like it's been a long time. I finished off my spring semester, not as strong as I had hoped honestly. I barely managed to pass the classes I was worried about, and I was honestly so so burnt out by the end of the semester. Like, I think I slept the most I ever have in the week following my last day of the semester.

So far this summer, I've only worked 2 days (as of tomorrow it'll be 2 days of work this summer) because I decided I wanted a break from school AND work which I am thankfully able to afford at the moment. It has been wonderful. I've spent my days reading, taking walks outside, working out, napping, and indulging in hobbies like painting, coloring, and I plan on picking up sewing, crochet, and drawing soon. It has been so restorative for me so far and I am so beyond grateful for this time I've had for myself.

Work has become a super toxic place for me, as I have some co workers that have made it their mission to talk trash about me and my life and the decisions I make. One of them is actually a former friend who can't seem to not talk about me. I've had at least 4 people confirm that she talks about me constantly and it's honestly draining to hear all the garbage and nonsense she talks. I just wish everyone would remember we are adults and we certainly have much more important things to do then just talk about other people. It also hurts, because we used to be such good friends, and I haven't spoken one word bad on her since the friendship ended, because I don't see it as productive or necessary. I just wish other people thought the same, that there's no need to speak ill on others.

I would find a new job if I could, but because I don't drive AND my current job pays well, I feel as though I am a bit stuck. But we will see what happens when the semester gets closer. Maybe I can take a pay cut and get a new job. Who knows?

I will post my todo list for today soon, as today is a full relaxation/restoration day for me. I started my period and had a really rough night last night, plus I work tomorrow (deep cleaning the restaurant I work at, so nothing too bad), so I figured having a full day of ease would be most beneficial.

I'm going to try to update as regularly as I can, as I do have some stuff that I need to accomplish this summer before the semester starts. It feels good to be back.

It's grind time. With the semesters end quickly approaching alongside the end of steady work at my job for the semester, I'm running myself a bit ragged with all the hours I'm pulling on top of school work and whatnot. Here's to keeping myself accountable and productive the next two weeks until I can finally rest and recuperate from this semester.

ToDo Today (April 28th) ✨️

shower + night time skincare 🫧

work from 230pm to ~10pm 🍕

work on social media project for health psychology until ~1am ish 💻

read a chapter of my current book to unwind a little bit today 📚

try not to drink too much caffeine ☕️

since it's almost time for me to go to work, I figured I'd keep my todo list nice and short and manageable.

Tomorrow will be a similar story as today, just working and grinding out schoolwork/studying as much as I can. Let's hope I can end this semester on a high ish note.

April already? Time is flying, I feel like we barely entered 2025 and now it's April? Feels unreal almost.

I have no work today, so I'm going to spend as much time as I can on stuff that I really need and really want to do! I've done pretty good at getting stuff done lately, especially with school stuff, so I really want to keep that sort of momentum going to try and be more successful as the school semester comes to an end.

What I Did Yesterday (March 31st) 👑

completed chapter 9 quiz for exercise physiology

worked on chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology

completed assignment 10.1 for exercise physiology

washed a load of laundry

dropped off two packages at the post office

finished paying off my rent

worked from 230pm to 945pm

I feel like that's a good amount of stuff to have gotten done yesterday, given I really wasn't feeling like doing much. Work had been so tiring lately, I'm almost glad the semester is ending because of the toll that work is taking on me physically now. On the bright side, I should be getting promoted in April, so hopefully, things ease up once that happens.

I want to start studying languages again, and of course I'm stuck between my favorite three: Spanish, Korean, or Japanese. I have lots of Japanese study resources, I live in a high population of Spanish speakers, and I listen to lots of music and media in Korean. Which one(s) do I start with to ease back into it? Pick one? All three? Help a girl out!!

I need to start taking and using my own photos on here, I feel like these pinterest ones don't do it for me anymore. but we'll see how successful I am at maintaining that.

I did not finish as much as I wanted yesterday, mostly because I came home from work and immediately began the process of bleaching and dying my hair purple. It took about 6 hours total and looking back, I definitely could've spent some of the wait time taking notes or reading, so at least I know to be more mindful of that. (I dye my hair at home)

What I Accomplished Yesterday (March 29) ✨️

spent 55min working on Chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology (need to complete them and start chapter 10 ASAP today)

worked 9am to 3pm

washed dishes

dyed my hair purple

ordered necessities from the store

night time skincare + showered

So yeah, it was not the most productive day I don't think, but today has the opportunity to be a better day for that stuff, so I'll make use of the time I have today in a better way.

Todo Today (March 30th) 🌻

finish chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology 📖

read a chapter of a book (probably Attached, or Way of Kings) 📚

night time skincare + oral hygiene 🚿

set myself up for the gym in the morning ☀️

I really hope I won't be ad tired today as I have been lately. it's seriously not fun coming home from work exhausted or waking up and not wanting to move because I'm still so tired. But I know I'll get some stuff done today for sure. Luckily, none of my current todos have a strict deadline, so I can go easy on myself if needed.

Last night, I was decently productive to the point where I was actually proud of what I was able to accomplish. It was a nice feeling. I'm still grappling with the thoughts of what to do in regards to continuing my education, if I go the community college (Medical Assisting) route or continue with my university (Nutrition and Dietetics), despite the possible financial issues I'll be facing.

What I Accomplished Yesterday (March 28th) ✨️

did a hydrating face mask (it was amazing)

washed and put away a load of laundry

paid my rent

wrote out some chapter 8 notes + chapter 8 vocabulary notes for health and exercise psychology

wrote out a solid chunk of my chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology (need to finish chapter 9 and start chapter 10 asap, but that's what I get for being 2 chapters behind)

journaled about some stuff going on in my head (mostly the continuing education stuff that's been plaguing my thoughts)

studied/did schoolwork for a total of 122 minutes

looked at potential classes I could take + other options for switching to the community college here in town

Yesterday was definitely a decent day in terms of stuff I was able to get done, but I also know I slacked off A LOT. More than I am comfortable with having slacked off. I'm slowly getting back into my school grind mindset, especially with the semester coming to an end soon. I really want to get my grades back up where I need them to be and end the semester on a high note, with a good GPA and a sense of pride in knowing I tried.

Todo Today (March 29th) 🌷

wash dishes 🫧 (the sink is full, and I don't like it)

tidy up around my bedroom 🧹

night time skincare + shower 🚿

make my to-do list for tomorrow ✨️

My goal is to get all of this done today, and I have a strong feeling I'll be successful as long as I keep my head in the game and remember that I have priorities and things need to get done. If I don't do the things, then the things don't get done, and I can't have that.

I should be able to get most of this done. I might put off taking notes until this weekend, just because my head hasn't necessarily been in the game recently. My anxiety has been pretty high the last few days, and it's taking a lot of energy to keep under control right now. But everything else is definitely a priority to get done today!

I'm back? - An Update

Hey lovelies. It's been a while. Lots has happened in my life, and I don't know how consistent I'll be with posting but I figured it would be a good way to kind of motivate myself to get back to some of my habits and working towards some of my goals. I've been slowly trying to better myself, my life, my academics, all that good stuff, and maybe coming back here and posting will help me stay accountable? Who knows, but it's worth a shot.

💌 Todo List for Today (March 26, 2025)

take chapter 8 notes for health psychology

take chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology

read 1 chapter of Attached ✅️ (I read 3)

survive my night shift at work (2pm to 9pm)

night time skincare

Not an extensive list, as I've already crossed off some other items on my to-do list that I don't think need to be added because they're already done for the day. I'm feeling incredibly anxious right now, and I have no clue why, but hopefully taking my medication and maybe some meditation will help my anxiety lessen a little bit.

My todo list for tomorrow is TBD.

Daily Check-in: Dec 16th 2024 🎀

Made the beginning of a check in for Sunday, saved it to drafts, and now I can't remember a single thing I did on Sunday besides cry from anxiety. Yesterday was good tho, despite honestly not doing much. Being on break is always so difficult for me. I begin to lack energy, motivation, and discipline, and it leaves me feeling very negative about myself. Hopefully I can turn that around soon.

🩷 What I Accomplished

studied Japanese in my Genki I workbook for ~22min

cooked chicken for dinner

took a nap

worked in my 2025 artist of life workbook journal to set up for next year

saved some photos to print for my 2025 vision board + set some goals

zoom called my boyfriend

showered + did my hair oiling/hair care routine

morning journal

💔 What Could've Gone Better

laid in bed for honestly most of the day

over ate a bit

didn't work out

didn't do my skincare at all

didn't journal at night

had to reschedule breakfast with my dad due to anxiety

skipped an online appointment

overall felt really bad about how I spent my day

💕 ToDo Today (Tuesday, 17th)

Japanese + Spanish study tasks from yesterday and today

email therapist about rescheduling Friday's appointment to earlier this week

call physical therapy and cancel Friday's appointment (I'm getting my nails done on Friday and so is one of my roommates so that's why I gotta move stuff around on Friday)

apply for 2 more internships for the summer

morning + night skincare (use a face mask tonight)

morning + night journaling

eat more mindfully

play with my cat a little bit

more work in the artist of life workbook

YouTube pilates workouts

wash makeup brushes

Here's to hoping I follow through with this list today. I'm tired of not keeping promises to myself.

ToDo *Dec 15, 2024

wash makeup brushes + sponges

research summer internship opportunities

put away laundry

plan language studies for this week (when, where, and what)

clean out backpack + old stuff from this last semester

make list of calls to make + emails to send tomorrow

do a digital declutter on iPad + chromebook

rewrite my personal budget for when I return to work

work in journal/workbook for 2025

read at least 2 chapters of a book

maybe practice crochet

hopefully I do at least half this list today, I'm feeling a little tired so we shall see. Will update tonight and restart my daily check ins as well!

Winter Break 24' Goals

My winter break is quickly approaching as the fall semester is coming to an end. I will be getting time off work as well, due to the semester ending, so that gives me about ~5 weeks to basically do whatever I want! Which I am so excited about <3

Here are some goals I am going to accomplish over this long, much needed break:

learn + practice more crochet 🧶(I can do a chain, but a single crochet is difficult for me right now)

workout at the gym 3-5x a week 🏋‍♀️

begin running again 🏃‍♀️ (I'm taking a running class next semester, so I want to prepare myself for it)

study japanese 3-5 days a week + take 2-3 italki lessons 🌸 (I'm also taking a Japanese class next semester so I want to know more than the basics)

study Spanish 2 days a week minimum 🇲🇽 (another language I know a little bit of but want to get better at)

complete watching 2-4 unfinished anime 💻 series (I always stop with a few episodes to go, need to break that habit)

consistent self care + begin a few healthy, consistent habits 🎀 (meditation, journaling, skincare morning + night, stretching, etc)

visit my boyfriend ❤️ (aiming to do so in early January!)

start drawing or at the very least, coloring, again ✏️ (very fun, very creative, very stress relieving, but I won't be mad if I don't hold myself to this)

meal prep 2x a week for lunches and dinners 🥗

on that note, learn a couple new recipes for lunches and dinners! 🍜

finish reading two books at minimum, three if I really work at it 📚 (going to finish What Alice Forgot, then going to move on to Girl In Pieces and If He Had Been With Me [or No Longer Human])

I will truly begin these on December 13th, and begin my daily updates soon too. Will Reblog this around Jaunary 13th to see what I actually did!

what are your guys goals for the winter?

hello lovelies <3

I have been MIA for a while now, and that’s because life has been absolutely bonkers lately. Here’s a quick breakdown:

> my financial habits have been terrible, I’ve been able to afford rent but haven’t been saving or paying off debts at all and it’s driving me crazy but I’m trying to teach myself better habits

> because of my lack of financial skills, I will NOT be taking classes next semester. I owe about 1,800$ USD to my university and won’t be able to register anyways with that high of a balance

> someone who I thought was a good friend turned out to not be and I’m dealing with the aftermath of a hurtful friendship breakup

> because of said friendship breakup, a few people at work have been borderline bullying me for no reason and it’s made me cry and have lots of anxiety at work, has also affected several work friendships in a negative way so I’m pretty much done trying to be friends with people at work

> my roommates and I resigned our lease so I’ll be living with them for this year and next thankfully! I love my rooommates, they are truly good people

> I still haven’t seen my boyfriend in person since January 1st but we’re trying to find time and the finances to get me out to cali to see him hopefully in December

> I started working out again and upped my medication by 2mg and the difference has been immense, I feel so much better, more clear, more like myself and overall just happier and more content

> I’ve stalled in studying Japanese, haven’t put much of any effort towards it lately but want to restart asap as I have a Japanese lesson in 2ish weeks

so, that’s the breakdown. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but believe me, it’s been insane. October has been a crazy month. I’m hoping to get back to it soon and overall start living my life to the fullest again. Will be making an updated post of goals to accomplish by the end of the year so stay tuned for that!

To Do Today 9/28/24

I was supposed to work a long double shift today at my normal job and then a kinda side job task that involves talking to a ton of people and being out late at night.

pre lab 25 chemistry

chemistry lecture quiz

catch up on chem lecture notes

catch up on psyc lecture notes

catch up on accounting lecture notes

complete other intro to business assignments

It sounds like a lot, but honestly, it should not take me all night to do all these things so I'll be fine, as long as I get then done!

I want to challenge myself and do like a week or a month long challenge, but I fear sometimes life may be too unpredictable, which always throws me off. I want to set a routine, i want to accomplish things, and I've been feeling so much guilt for my lack of routines, my lack of productivity, and my lack of effort in the cultivation of my own life. Does anyone have any advice or something motivating for moments like these, where you want to achieve and work towards something yet you wonder if it's at all achievable? I'm in desperate need of some motivation, tips, advice on how to go about things. I feel so thrown off recently. I want to feel like myself again.

Daily Check-in: September 12, 2024 😴

Some pictures of my school work set up in the campus library, which is actually my preffered place of study! I'm always the most productive in there! Sorry about the inconsistent daily check ins, I get home from work some nights and just pass out right away, I'm so tired.
