Under the weather but pushing through where I have to and resting when I can! I held my track interest meeting today and I feel more excited/motivated than I have in a while and I’m almost starting to believe that this winter is almost at an end! I also had a chiropractor appointment yesterday physical therapy appointment today, and I’m feeling really excited about the strides towards reducing chronic pain. Big stuff. The best feeling of all that is knowing that I’m prioritizing myself and not putting it off because I’m “too busy”

I can be there!

Love love love! My life has seriously changed since I started implementing morning/nighttime rituals. Not an exaggeration…LIFE CHANGING! Now if my sleep is off I get very cranky about it because I’m so used to good sleep…to think that I used to just live with that baseline of cranky is hard to believe lol I have different variations of a morning routine to help me stay in flow with what I have going on and what my body feels like it needs. At the very least it’s a glass of lemon water and a 5-8 minute song that I put on and do ground work to. Unfortunately I’m not lucky enough to be able to get sunlight on most mornings before work because it’s usually still dark when I leave, but I do at least walk along the outside of the building to the door closest to my classroom so I get that minute or so of light.

Found my stride today! Woke up at a decent time, followed the somatic movement video (my niece and nephew followed along with me..they were excited to see @Melissa Curtis and kept trying to say hi to her lol) I got to the gym to do my PT and a little cross training, brought the kids to the cat cafe and got up to date on my grading! “Aren’t you getting tired of this?” -my 6 year old niece in reference to me grading…. Yes. Yes I am 😂 It’s my least favorite part of the job so it requires all my deepest discipline to get it done!

Yesterday was family and friend time! My sister and I took her kids out in the woods to a place where the birds will come eat out of your hands and it’s about a half mile walk to the beach. We got hot coco and then I met my best friend out for dinner, finishing my day with some couch and Olympics time. So food was NOT GREAT lol but family and friend time was fulfilling ❤️ today I’m bringing my brothers little ones to the cat cafe, but then I will do some things for me. I’ll go to the gym and fuel myself well, as well was get some things done for work that will make my life easier when I go back on Monday!
