Well, I did it ya’ll. I have, officially, graduated.
These past couple of years have been rough, but I’m really proud of myself. Grad school is already hard on its own. Grad school with a pandemic AND a bunch of negative things happening in your personal life? Don’t get me started...
Anyway, I’m (cautiously) looking forward to what my future holds. So far, I’ve been able to cross off a few things from the vision board I made on New Year’s Eve. I’m determined to cross off more soon.
Also, with school out of the way, I think this is the perfect time to get back on track with my health and fitness goals. I haven’t stepped foot inside a gym in MONTHS. I’m actually looking forward to restarting tomorrow.
I know I’ve done this several times already. I used to feel embarrassed every time I would post about having another setback on here. But, you know what? I’ll restart 100 times if that’s what it takes to get to where I want.
So, here we go again :)
If you want to truly succeed, stop chasing other people’s version of success. In fact, stop “chasing” success at all.
Start aligning into yourself and take the inspired action from there, remembering that resting and healing is often what we need most. From there, true abundance, freedom and fulfillment will emerge with time.
Self care isn't just about doing whatever you feel like doing. Sometimes self care is all about prioritizing your long term health and happiness above engaging in whatever unhealthy coping methods you think would provide a feeling of instant gratification.
