Oftentimes it is easy to get lost in the shuffle of the day to day. But each moment is fresh.⁣
⁣
Can anyone else wrap their mind around the fact that January is over already? ⁣
⁣
February may be the shortest month, but after 2020 seemed like the longest year, you would have thought we got shorted a bit of time in January.⁣

We deserve to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and take the next step to keep along the path to our next level self, even with the bends and dips along the way.⁣

I took several rests along my 20 minute workout and modified because everything was burning. ⁣
⁣
It reminded me of why I began this program 8 days ago and why on "only" day 4 I am 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘥 to keep 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 and working on me through this particular one.⁣

💗I made coffee at home and took it in a new tumbler from the U.P.⁣
⁣
💗I resistes buying starbucks late in the day, and when I had been out longer than planned. ⁣
⁣
💗I drank all of the water I brought with me instead.⁣
⁣
💗I did not buy fast food, aside from the "healthy lunchable", The Perfect Bar, and doritos I got from target.⁣
⁣
💗Instead, I came home and made this delicious spread.⁣
⁣
💗I found some books that speak to my soul for daily reading.⁣
⁣
💗Caught up with a friend I hadn't seen since I was here last February. (Target and the store with the beautiful books, etc.)⁣

Working on being content with your day, and embracing the reflection and awareness of your actions, thoughts, etc. is something that is a work in progress. Am I right? 🤣🤣⁣

Have you been caught in a cycle of breaking promises to yourself, and/or not taking the steps you know you need to in order to chase those desires on your heart?⁣
⁣
Yeah, been there, still am, girl!⁣
⁣
Today is brand new.⁣
⁣
Do something today that will bring you joy, nourish your body or soul, go to bed happy and then do that check in tomorrow again.⁣
⁣
I am, yet again refocusing on my wellness: mind, body, spirit.⁣
⁣
I am determined to do what I have been telling myself I need AND to constantly reevaluate what it is I need at the moment.⁣
⁣
Heck, that's why y'all see me start/stop so much... I want to break that stopping cycle when things aren't perfect.⁣
⁣
That is my largest struggle.⁣
⁣
What's your's?⁣

This weekend I needed to connect with 2 of my closest, longest friends. Lengthy video chats, especially over a morning cup of coffee, was just what my heart needed. Not that I would pass up a visit with each of them like "the old days" but I feel just as close with them when we get a good video chat in.

This p@ndem¡c won't last forever. And there are things that hopefully are a better normal once the separation and closures don't happen anymore. But there are so many ways one can adapt to this.

Find your healthy coping mechanisms. You won't regret making the best out of something that feels uncontrollable. Some days, that's a reminder I need too.

Happy Sunday, friends!

❌ you're not a disciplined person⁣
❌ you can't be consistent⁣
❌ someday is good enough⁣
❌ it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect anyone else.⁣
❌ there's too much to do.⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥***!⁣
⁣
𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥:⁣
⁣
🌟 You're NOT "not" a disciplined person you've just been caught in the overwhelm and caught in the hamster wheel of overthinking⁣
⁣
🌟 You couldn't be consistent before because you focused on getting the "𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦" version of your life vs the goal which is the journey that is YOUR LIFE!⁣
⁣
🌟 Someday is only good enough when everything is guaranteed and GIRL, nothing is except 𝘜𝘕𝘊𝘌𝘙𝘛𝘈𝘐𝘕𝘛𝘠 is a guarantee!⁣
⁣
🌟 You're right... it doesn't matter to anyone else because that 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐓 be the end all, be all... it f***ing matters to YOU babe and that is what counts.⁣
⁣
🌟 There's too much to do because you haven't taken care of you FIRST to feel prepared for the rest!⁣
⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐨, 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥:⁣
⁣
❤ Do something, even just one thing, to take care of yourself.⁣
⁣
❤ You MUST take the first step if you ever expect to look and see how far you've traveled.⁣
⁣
❤ Now...yes, today is the best day because that's where your current needs are!⁣
⁣
❤ Put the blinders on and STOP comparing your chaper 5 to someone else's chapter 20... mmmmkay?⁣
⁣
❤ Take action, yes, especially the messy stuff to do what you CAN⁣
⁣
⁣
And girl, you're gonna make it. You have the tools, you have the desires on your heart... you just have to have 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇 in yourself, 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓 in the journey, and 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄... ⁣
⁣
Because even 𝘈𝘔𝘈𝘡𝘖𝘕 𝘗𝘙𝘐𝘔𝘌 goes at its own speed when it's overwhelmed.⁣

⁣
Afterall, the only things we regret are the things we didn't do.⁣
⁣
Here me out on this one 🙃⁣
⁣
The to do list can wait if it means filling up your cup, making your soul content.⁣
⁣
How are you going to do the things, or help the people, if you don't make time for the things to honor yourself and your being?⁣
⁣
Today, consisted of ⁣
*finally decided on which vehicle to get⁣
*spending the rest of the day exploring in the rented Wrangler⁣
*Appreciating, soaking-in, marveling in the sea air and this season that I am in right now. ⁣
⁣
And dreaming of the future, which includes:⁣
⁣
"What am I doing right now, to fulfill this moment, while also making progress to the next version in this constant self evolution?"⁣
⁣
⁣
What will you do for yourself tomorrow that the "you" you are Sunday will thank you for?⁣
