Today was one of those days. It wasn’t supposed to be that busy just a quick appointment but it somehow turned into a full day of running in and out, crossing things off the to-do list, and finally now winding down and getting ready for bed. While it was a great day (no complaints here), I’m definitely looking forward to the next two days being a little bit slower.
I still have a few appointments coming up, but I’ve made a very firm decision no more unnecessary outings. I’ve been more on the go than I’d like, and it’s time to be more mindful about where my energy is going.
That mindfulness extends to my food choices, too. Since the move, I’ve noticed my sweet tooth creeping back in more than usual. It’s like every day I’ve been reaching for something sugary. And while I’m thankful it hasn’t affected my pancreas (grateful for that!), I know I’ve gone a little overboard. I’m owning that, and I’m resetting starting now. Back to my stricter, more intentional ways. I’m on a health journey, and part of that is recognizing when I’ve drifted off track and gently bringing myself back.
I wasn’t able to get my cardio in today ( restrictions) because of my doctor’s appointment, but tomorrow I’ll be right back at it and I honestly can’t wait. Moving my body is a big part of my routine, my healing, and my commitment to myself.
Today, I also spent a good chunk of time working on my next challenge, which will launch August 1st. I’m really excited about it! With every new challenge I create, I feel more inspired. It takes time to design, plan content, and post every day, but it’s something I love deeply. And like I always say if it helps just one person, then that’s enough for me. That’s the whole point.
I’ll be sharing about the challenge across a few of my channels, especially Instagram and Facebook, but you can always follow along right here too. I’m also planning to catch up a bit this weekend on YouTube. While I can’t share everything, I’ll go over what I feel ready and willing to open up about. I’m still processing a lot but I’m in a much better place mentally and physically, and that’s a huge win for me.
I’m especially grateful for therapy. It’s helped me so much in navigating life, especially living with PTSD and chronic illness. Some days are just tough, plain and simple. But I’m thankful for life, for progress, for the people I have in my corner. Life is too short to waste, or to let anyone else waste it for you.
So if there’s something you’ve been wanting to change, I encourage you to start. Tonight. Right now, even. You have the power to turn things around. Pray. Reflect. Shift. We all have room to grow, to do better, to feel better. If you’re stuck in a loop, take that first small step toward breaking it because even tiny steps lead to real, lasting change.
Things won’t shift overnight, but they will shift.
Sleep well tonight, knowing that you can always begin again. 🖤
