I just wanted to come on here and write about my life lately. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, re-organizing, and re-evaluating EVERYTHING!
Let’s talk about health
I’m stressed! You may be asking, why? You aren’t working, so what could you possibly be stressed about? And that’s exactly it, I’m not working and bringing in any money, and it’s making me feel things that I’ve never felt and think about things that I’ve never thought about before. Basically, it’s bringing up all sorts of things about worth and purpose and meaning... you know, all the deep things that we push way down. I haven’t gotten it all figured out, but at least it’s starting to come to the surface. More on all of that in another post, because it’s too much to discuss in an update blog.
Other than the “trying to figure out my purpose in life” contemplation, I’m just overall inflamed. My husband and I got our Function Health blood test results back and they were a little eye opening. Inflammation, inflammation, and more inflammation. My RF (Rheumatoid Factor) marker is in the not so good range, and a lot of the other markers that can be thrown off by inflammation were all out of range. Oh, and my cholesterol and omegas need some attention too... so there’s that.
So now I’m on a mission
I need to lower my inflammation. How am I going to do that? Eat even better than I currently do IE..Blood Sugar balancing , get better sleep, get back to detoxing (sauna), journal, stop people pleasing, try to find joy, and oh yeah... lower my stress! A lot of this is easier said than done, but I needed a wake up call. I’ve been a little scattered this year, I lost my dad, I ended my career, I graduated from school, I started a business, my son started college, my daughter is now driving... it’s been a year. So much so that I think I’ve let this year and all the stress of it consume me, I stopped taking care of myself and It stops now... it has to.
I’ve decided to document it here
I’m not sure what that looks like exactly, but I have to start somewhere. I don’t care for Instagram or Facebook, so why not use the platform I already pay for and can add anything I want to. Also, not using AI! I will probably run it through for grammar, but other than that, I want to use my voice, the real me. I’ll add updates on my journey, and I have the right to change my mind at any time.
This is happening. I’m making changes. I’m coaching myself, and I need to get back to healthy.
I want to find joy and my purpose, I want to have energy and just feel good. I want to own my journey, and I hope you join me.
