The title of this post may seem very self absorbed- but actually it’s more self- care than anything else.     This year- I have come to certain realizations that SO many things no longer work in my life-    Things I once loved no longer bring me joy-     Such is the ebb and flow of life-  but rather than become complacent in my journey- as I somewhat feel in many aspects I had-   I decided, after much thinking and contemplating- that I needed to switch things up a bit.

You only need to know me in my everyday life to know the kind of person I am.   I’m very social and love people.    Because of that there tends to be this assumption that people make that my life has this perfect rosy tint to it.    While I lead a very blessed life- it’s far from perfect and I struggle with myself from time to time as much as the next person.  Also, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss being back ‘home’ with those I love and care for there-   It’s the blessing and curse of living in a space other than what you grew up with.  It has afforded me many amazing opportunities and wonderful people, and I am so grateful for that-   but I also miss my family and friends ‘back’ home’.     It is one of those things I am used to- but it is always there.

During this process I’m currently in-   I’ve decided that I need to be able to think of my own needs first- before those of others-  so hence the title of this post-    also hence the decision to join the gym and to spend more time taking care of myself- albeit a little later in life than I should have started-   Better late than never right?

So this is where I want to write about that journey to self-  to finding a balance in a world that is constantly connected-   I know that living my best life possible is going to mean letting go of some things.    Some of which will be much easier to do than others..

 

Stay tuned if you are interested in the journey…
