A Fresh Start
I am starting today with something I haven’t had in a few days — a full night of sleep. Over eight hours.
My headache is gone… but the mess in my house is what it left behind. So I already know what I’ll be doing most of the morning.
The rug needs vacuumed.
The dishes need done.
The kitchen needs swept.
Some laundry needs started.
Oh, and don’t forget those taxes. LOL.
But honestly, it’s all good.
Sometimes life just hands it to you and you have no choice but to rest. That’s something I’m learning I need to practice on this journey. I’ve always been a GO GO GO person. I push until I crash.
That’s not healthy.
Right now my biggest focus is kicking this type 2 diabetes and getting my health into a better place. That means listening to my body a little more and respecting when it needs rest.
I still feel a little heavy this morning, but that’s the migraine hangover. I know from experience that once I get up and start moving, that feeling will start to lift.
Shifting gears here…
We are doing a giveaway right now in the 365 Days of Me Facebook Group, and I am so excited about it. I’m also developing a line of all-natural cleaning supplies and giving away free samples over on the Mind Body Soul Facebook page.
These are the things that absolutely set me on fire.
I love sharing the things I create. I love hearing feedback — both positive and negative. I appreciate both because that’s how I learn, grow, and improve.
And watching the 365 Days of Me group grow has been incredible.
I boosted the group the other day and the return on that has been amazing. We went from 128 members to 181, and we’re closing in on 200 already. I actually started the giveaway when we hit 150… so things are moving fast. LOL.
Seeing people join the group and start participating honestly makes my heart explode.
This journey saved my life the first time I went through it, and it’s doing it again now. I want people to see what this journey can do. I want people to find the same love for themselves that I’ve been learning to find for myself.
It really is transformational.
So if you came here from the group and followed the link to this journal, please know this:
I am so happy you are here.
You are worth this journey.
Growth doesn’t always come from the big breakthroughs.
Sometimes it comes from a good night of sleep, a fresh start in the morning, and the willingness to keep moving forward.
Today feels like one of those days.
