Back At It

One of the most amazing things that therapy and groups did for me was make me highly self-aware.

I went from 40 years of not understanding emotions... not even being able to name them.

Then I had to let go of the myth that there are "good" emotions and "bad" emotions.

Then I had to learn how to show myself grace through ALL emotions.

Then I had to let myself just feel.

Just be.

Self-awareness can be fabulous.

IT IS fabulous.

It can also be very overwhelming.

Scary.

Sad.

Frustrating.

Confusing.

Heavy.

I have been going through ups and downs for the last year and a half...

Really since menopause hit me smack in my lava-filled face & body.

I have struggled with my irritability.

My lack of motivation.

The 10-13 pounds I've put on.

My lack of any energy.

My lack of patience with anyone or anything.

I have tried to find ways to get myself motivated.

I am doing my vitals.

Talking to God.

Drinking water.

Eating food that feels good to me. 

Getting fresh air.

UV rays.

Getting my watch has been a game-changer!

Accountability is what I have been lacking.

I've hit my steps goal and my exercise goal, my sleep goal and my water goal each day this week since getting my watch.

I'm back in my own game!
