During this little transition I am experiencing...I thought a lot about old baggage...some I have carried for years. Body Image, eeekkk. While I have embraced this new habit of going to the gym, and enjoying it? really?? yes, really... I am paying more attention to what I am eating and drinking...so those things are falling into place. But the old negative self talk and chatter...is very much present. And as I get older, maybe even more so. When I saw the new
Brave Girls online course,
Body Restoration...my interest was peeked.
I jumped in right before week 2, but I have a wonderful weekend of pushing my stress and anxiety aside and and catching up with the videos and art...ok, so I haven't caught up with the journaling...but I know this can be done later. It is always fun to start a new project. This one uses a sketch book as the "body book" and the process to get the book prepped was a feat in itself...lots of cutting of pages, gluing of pages, oy! But it was just what I need to busy myself. As in Soul Restoration, I know I will be referring back to this book, when I find the need to remember and remind myself, of some truths.
I am feeling much better now, the side effects of the Cymbablta are much less. None yesterday until last night, and I am so happy the effects are leveling off. I am sleeping better at night, almost normal I would say. I really just gave myself time to adjust to this "bump". I rested when I needed to, as soon as my toe was ready, I worked out when I could...and just got quiet. All good... wishing you a wonderful day!
