It's that time again for me to share what has been happening; I've been weirdly enjoying writing these posts since the start of the pandemic back in March of 2020. It's been a way for me to connect with you all in a way that feels comfortable. Anyways, I'm going to share what has been happening with me.
Life this month, in a nutshell, has been all over the place (kind of like this year- I kid, I kid). Anywho, I'm still continuing daily workouts everyday. I came up with a concept to make my workouts a little bit easier: daily 10 via the Love sweat fitness app (that's a given I do this), a walk with either one of my doggies or a workout video of choice plus a cooldown of choice- yoga or stretching / foam rolling. I've found this concept very helpful when I cannot make my mind up on what to do. I'm still going to use this into next month on days when I need it and also I decided to Love Sweat Fitness's 31 day booty challenge for October 2020 (looking forward to this!). I've been thankful each day for motivating myself to do more movement and getting outside to do some of that movement. It just feels good when you get in nature and do your workout. It makes a wonder of a difference on your overall mood.
I also got a new bed this month (which setting and putting together was a bit overwhelming)- I've always grew up with a twin bed- now a full size- it still takes getting used to. But I like it, and somedays getting out of that bed is harder said than done. Also, did a 30 day self care september challenge via love sweat fitness- it was a nice thing to accompany into my month. Went to visit my grandparents this month and it was an enjoyable trip. I also was still having a hard time accepting something when I was there and I couldn't even shake this feeling out of me to accept it. Then also that week I was home, I had a revisiting from my past- I was a mad mess in this scenario and I was not myself. When I went through my breakup in 2015, it was a difficult process to move forward and get on with my life. I had so much anger buildup when the dream happened. I had a panic attack one day when I was at my old program and no one did nothing. Just sat and stared at me; did nothing; oh Lord, did it make me angry? Yes it did. The head person that ran the program thought I was being overdramatic- it didn't help my ex was in the room either. I was, in the scenario, lashing out at the headperson and one staff member I didn't like. I was angry at them for not understanding my pain and what I was going through and the panic attack that happened there. It's okay now because I'm not going back to that part of my life anymore. That person that I mentioned (the angry one in the scenario) is gone. It scared me that happened- I thought the past was done and it didn't help it was a full / new moon that week either. I guess I needed to let go of the past for good.
I did get a nice, short weekend to myself which wasn't bad at all; mostly cleaned, did laundry, my workouts and tidied up, too. Made a dish I hadn't made in an year- a noodle veggie dish with tofu over spicy sauce- I'll have to share the recipe over on my food blog soon. It was nice to just relax before a new month started up soon. I've also been feeling a bit overwhelmed with what has happened this month and I know it's just a season and I know it isn't permanent. Life teaches us things, and it also tells us to go forward and not look back. And I know with how our world has been, I'm looking forward to going forward (some not too much I don't like to rush).
Here are some quotes that I hope inspire you:
Hope you all enjoyed this post- see you for October's post!
Sending lots of love and light your way,
Lauren
