First of all, I feel amazing. I wrote previously that I was struggling to keep my head above water with life and although that’s still the case, I am tackling it one by one.
I leave for Portland tomorrow and I’m very excited, a little vacation because traveling like this has been on my bucket list. It’ll help me clear my head, I’ve felt cooped up in the house.
One particular night last week I was triggered with some heavy emotions and had to deal with it. I was intentional with my self care and through meditation, prayer, journaling, etc I was able to feel like weight was lifted off. Thank God for that.
Now although my mentals were good, I was experiencing some depression-type symptoms. I noticed it when all I wanted to do was lay in bed all day and I had no motivation to even eat. But I kept my head in a good place and realized that feeling would pass, and sure enough it did and I found myself vacuuming the house at 7am the next morning. It sure is nice to wake up refreshed and to push through yucky shit.
Oh and I set a personal record with 13 workouts in October, averaging about 500-600 calories burned per session. I feel strong!
Happy November all
