Day Six-Thirty Two
Okay yeah, it’s been a while. The last few weeks have been crazy, and I have been pulled in so many different directions, so I am just going to take it from the beginning.
Right after I started this challenge around September 19th, I had a few mental breakdowns and moments of doubt, guilt, sadness, regret… you know the vibes. I was not doing well. I took a break from conducting Healing Sessions and just took some time for myself. For the first time since I started social media, I had my evenings back. It was honestly really nice to just take a step back and focus on my family and my mental health. The week after, was Navaratri and I came back to Healing Sessions, so I was BOOKED back-to-back even though I took three days off from my 9-5 job. Then, last week, I was in three different states attending my 9-5 in-person meetings, then seeing my fiancé and then going to Chicago to support a friend. All this to say, that Days 6-32 of this challenge were very much a part of the 90-day journey to a more aligned future, but it certainly did not always look so routine.
I ate out, did not work out every day, did not write on this page every day but I certainly listened to my body. Last week in Chicago, I had a moment of pure serenity. I just really felt so one with the trees, as grandiose as that sounds. To be honest, these past few weeks taught me more than when I was pressuring myself to learn everything - I guess I finally learned the Universe’s lesson: give. yourself. rest. otherwise, the world will give to you in what you perceive as an inopportune time.
I learned that I needed to find balance in my life and prioritize a few things everyday instead of having this MASSIVE to do list. I learned to look at weekly goals instead of daily and then split the weekly tasks accordingly. I learned to set reasonable expectations – I accomplish more & sooner that way. I learned to listen to my body and eat the foods I liked. I learned how to approach the abundance mindset in my day-to-day and look at what I have more than what I don’t. I turned to gratitude. I turned to myself for validation.
I am doing well now. I am glad I had that break and for the first time in my life, I am not throwing this challenge away or restarting it just because it didn’t look perfect. I am honestly proud of that.
