Seeking an uncharted path to finding peace and freedom from busyness
It has been a rollercoaster and I wasn’t even sure if I could get myself to writing but here we go. Writing is my therapy!
Hearing Simone Biles and her keynote on Mental health: Redefining “Me” has given me the courage to take care of myself, ask for help again and not feel ashamed. Taking days off and taking me time is important and I need to remind myself that everyone’s journey is different.
Cheers to taking care of oneself and finding peace in knowing that we are enough. Be the best that we can be and that’s all that matters.
A week ago: Lakefront trail
I had a chance to go to Chicago and I didn’t pay attention to my mental health and it wasn’t as good as it could be. I knew my sleep was getting off schedule with waking up 3–4times again. I was stressed and anxious about all things in life again. I started to doubt my caliber, question my decisions and was worried that I might let people down again.
And then this happened. While walking on the lakefront trail, I blacked out, fell and scarred my face, hand and knees. Luckily a friend was there to help. My stomach got really upset again and I needed to use the restroom right away.
