Virtual Coffee - The Rambling Health Edition

Happy Tuesday!

It's time for some Virtual Coffee.

Or, in my case, Virtual...well...nothing.

I don't have a drink with me right now but

if we were really meeting for coffee right now I'd tell you that

health has been on my mind.

About a month ago now I wrote about my health.

After writing that post, I wanted to dive right into a series of challenges for myself.

But I stopped.

And pondered.

And listened.

What I wrote about was my eating habits.

My lack of sleep.

My being overweight.

I wanted more energy.

More stamina.

To feel strong again.

But I stopped.

And pondered.

And listened.

And here's what I've learned about myself.

My life right now isn't just about eating right or getting strong by

blasting away the calories with kicks and punches and thumping music.

It's about s l o w i n g   d o w n.

I want to lose weight, yes.

I want to feel stronger, yes.

But first I want more energy.

I want to eat CLEANER.

I want my head cleared of fog and negativity.

I want a good foundation.

 So for the past several weeks I've been doing little things.

 Breathing.

Yoga.

Stretching.

 Earthing.

Oh yeah.

That sounds a leeeetle strange.

But it's awesome.

You should try it.

Just take off your shoes and run outside and play.

 I've also been turning my phone to SILENT after 6:00pm.

This might come as a shock to some of you.

But yes.

I didn't realize that the constant dings and songs and buzzes were affecting my anxiety level as much

as they were.

 

 These little changes have made a huge difference in my anxiety level.

I feel more rested.

I'm still getting roughly the same amount of sleep as I was.

It's just better quality.

I stand taller.

My head is clearer.

I'm eating cleaner.

All these little changes have made an impact.

And that's what I needed.

That's what my body needed.

My mind.

If we were meeting for coffee right now

I'd thank you for listening to me ramble.

And I'd remind you I'm not preaching anything.

I'm just trying to find my way here.

I'd ask you how you're doing.

Have your Littles started school yet?

How is your summer list coming along?

I'm linking up with the ever awesome Amy today.

Oh Happy Day!
