I'm still walking religiously 5 days/week with walking buddy. I've bumped her up to a faster pace and 3 miles. It's been 2 months since she started walking and I'm pleasantly surprised that she stuck with it.
My eating has been good but not great. Some days I feel good and then others I feel blah. I've noticed my mood starting to shift for the better with the nice weather coming on but most days I have that blah feeling. Not good, not bad, just ho-hum. I'm not sure why. I don't know if it's the weather, the peri-menopause, my eating, my empty nest or a combo of all. I'll feel good for a day or two but then the blahness comes right back. I know I'm not depressed, I looked up the symptoms and that's not me. Maybe I need something exciting to happen to me to give me my spark back, idk.
I'm trying to focus on me and do what makes me feel good. I dug out some spring clothes I haven't worn for a while and switched my purse to a hot pink one, I'm keeping my nails painted nicely in spring colors. I've been focusing on my spirituality since that usually helps. Nothing to do but keep pushing forward and focusing on me and wait for everything to fall into place. But what am I waiting for? Will I recognize it when I find it?
Gosh Sunny...I don't know what to say! I hope you figure it out.
ReplyDeleteOne bit of advice that I've culled from yoga is to stop looking forward or backward; just be present. Right now, in this moment, you can achieve total happiness by just being you. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's really been working for me; no past failures to focus on and no future fantasies to distract.
ReplyDeleteI love the hot pink bag and the perfect spring manicures--bet you're looking fabulous!
Mel, I think this is great advice. I need to just concentrate on being the best me that I can be right now, in this moment.
