I hope you’re all doing well! 🙂
Just wanted to check in and give you an update on my journey…
I continued to pick up the shattered pieces of myself.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I’m doing it out of self-love, and not because I feel like I need to fix or change anything about myself.
One walk, one meditation, one water bottle, one meal, one step at the time and enjoying the process, not rushing to the destination ❤️
In the last 6 days I:
* Drank 24l of water 💧
* Did 6 hypoxi sessions
* Ate lots of good and healthy food 🥗 - had a hazelnut bliss ball, coconut yoghurt and berries and a GF fig and apple cake for desert on the days that I felt like a sweet treat 😋
* Listened to 2 more audio books 🎧- one still to be finished as it’s a long one and requires a bit of emotional processing. I’ve started listening to this while I was pregnant last year, and couldn’t get myself to finish until now. It’s my way of mourning and closing this chapter to make space for a fresh start and more magic to come. More on this later - still processing. Sending love to all mommas whose little angels didn’t make it to this world❤️
* I took 126 087 steps, so far 🚶♀️- still planning to go for an evening walk after finishing this post 🙂
* Climbed 426 flights of stairs according to my apple watch😮 - I’ve been loving walks and running up and down lots and lots of stairs lately
* Did 811 minutes (13hours and 31minutes) of exercise 🏋️♀️
* Did 6 morning meditations 🧘♀️ - still working towards doing meditations in the evening as well
* And learned that I can do anything as long as I put my mind and effort into it 💯- Today I felt physically and mentally tired as I’ve been getting up before 5am and going to bed about 10pm every day for the last 3 weeks. Therefore, it felt REALLY HARD to get up and do my exercise. However, I woke up naturally, without an alarm (after sleeping in a bit), went for a stairs run and a walk (taking a new route that I’ve been thinking of taking for about a week and half now, and discovered an amazing beautiful oasis of peace and quiet as a reward 😍) I overcame my desire to give into my old patterns of making excuses for myself and I stuck to my plan to nourish my body and soul!🙌
So this is me for the past week…
Just in case you’re waiting for someone to give you permission to live your life to the fullest and to follow your inner child desires - HERE IT IS-
I (insert your name here)………………………………. , give myself permission to live my life to the fullest and to choose my health, happiness and well-being over demands of others and to express myself authentically and without censoring myself. I choose love over fear and allow myself to feel anything and everything that I need to feel in order to grow. I forgive myself for not doing so sooner and choose to show up for myself in a loving and compassionate way every single day, one day at a time.
With love,
(Insert your name here)
if you ever need a friend to listen to you, encourage you or to accept you just as you are - my DMs are always open 🙂
PS: Feel free to check out my highlights for all the books that I’ve listened to so far 🙂
PS1: Please share any books that you’ve read and loved - there is no such thing as too many books (or essential oils or activewear :P) in my opinion 🤓
PS2: Comment below with what you do on a daily/weekly basis to practice self-love to inspire others!
PS3: REMEMBER TO BREATHE THROUGH IT ALL! 🧘♀️
Until next time! 👋
With love,
Essentially Kata
