BACK LIKE I NEVER LEFT

I went on vacation. Not an actual vacation or anything. Just a little living in the life, got caught up, forget to blog hiatus. Totally still here. during my break. I was intentional with my workouts and my yoga and my healthy (ish) eating... I did turn 30 after all. And birthday cake is a real thing. That was a big one. Definitely entered a new decade in life. I leaned out a little by focusing on me and my body's needs and less on the things going on around me and felt better because of it.

I also focused on coming to terms with the fact that being a positive person doesn't mean you don't have bad days. It doesn't mean you don't get angry or that you can't cuss at your trainer during your entire workout. It means you try to spread the love and light whenever you can to draw out some of that darkness. I found this snazzy snooze figure on the Facebook. You know those family members you love but are always promoting drama and negativity and you just can't have that in your space but don't wanna completely cut them out? Snooze them for a little and enjoy that breath of fresh air. I may miss out on a few of the positives but my overall wellness is improved so it's worth it.

As I'm finishing up my #fitin50 workout challenge (right on time by August 1st), I was thinking about what my next goal would be and so now I'm participating in a 30 days of Yoga ( see Yoga With Adriene) in 90 days Challenge. 90 days because life is busy and I'm already committed to personal training multiple times a week and yoga on Mondays at the chapel. So two days a week will be dedicated to Yoga with Adriene, in my bedroom. Committing to doing something for yourself is my favorite form of self-care. What's yours?

I tried to start reading a book with friends, except I couldn't afford the book and I realized Audible is not my friend. But my next personal goal is to focus on my reading. For fun or for growth just to focus on focusing because my mind has not been cooperative in that department later. I'm gonna make a reading list. Not just a TBR list, an intentional reading list. I've learned setting intentions and deadlines for myself and not just maybe someday goals works so much better for me because I'm committed to me. I've always been a dreamer so maybe somedays give me a little something to think about to keep hope alive but it's not the same.

Here's to doing better in life. Being the best me I can be cause I'm the only one. And never giving up on me. I'll wish the same for you too. Have a beautiful day you amazing humans!
