I did not hoop today. I am having a low day. I am o.k. Just tired and achy. I should have hooped.
I watched my granddaughter in the morning as usual and then instead of heading to the gym, I took a nap. I find naps to be the most therapeutic thing I can do for myself.
Sometimes I just need time off from life. When I was younger, much younger, I would take what my mother called a "mental health day". I'll have to ask her about that sometime. Because, I think this has been invaluable to me.
And when I say time off from life, I now mean no internet. Very little interaction with others. Just quite, me time. A lot of sleep, tea, maybe a book or a movie.
I have a whole bag of DVD's I just rented from the library. I plan on heading home and crawling under the covers again.
My therapist told me I need to have more fun. I looked at him blankly. He laughed.
But I think he is right!
At this point, I cannot go any deeper. I need a cup of hot, herbal tea. My healing socks. And a movie.
No popcorn. I am proud to say that I have remained true to my intermittent fasting way of life. Friday will be the beginning month five. It does get easier!
My new focus is what I have struggled with for most of my life. Being present in the moment. Finding joy everywhere. Laughing.
Having fun!
I hope to talk to you tomorrow. In better spirits.
Love,
Zita
