Self-care Adventure
August 31, 2018
As someone who is moderately obsessed with self-help and self-improvement, my current lifestyle is a bit wonky. I read a lot of books, watch a lot of documentaries and videos. My current situation is as follows:
- I have acne, I’m almost 40!
- Tension headaches with neck and shoulder pain.
- Diet (daily intake of food) is really messed up. I have replaced my green smoothies with jalapeño potato chips.
- I probably don’t drink enough water.
- I don’t workout at all.
- According to most of my doctors I am over weight but you wouldn’t know that looking at me ?.
- I’m generally stressed out: toddler mom, waiting on my license, changing jobs, and student loan debt. Typical stuff.
This list isn’t the end all. It is a circle that is held together by emotional stability. As humans become stressed out our bodies and mind begin to erode. I haven’t lost my mind yet and I don’t want to keep walking down this path either. For this reason I should really take care of myself, other than not being a hypocrite when I tell clients to take care of themselves.
What am I going to do about all of this and where do I start? I have to get this under control. Now is as good a time as any. Today I drank a V8!!
I am going to write about some of this stuff. Of course because I am actually trying to make changes and not just write about what other people should do. Future posts will mention stress-management, career, finances, physical health, mental health, and what ever else I can think of.
I have spent countless hours thinking about what to write about, I keep forgetting that anything can be an adventure.
