I am just going to start out by saying THIS IS HARD!
I'm only on day two and I felt blue when I woke up.
Mostly because I went to bed at 1AM and that's the latest I've gone to bed in a month.
So it is safe to say that going to bed early wasn't the thing I was going to work on hu!? haha
BUT yesterday I listened to a couple spiritually uplifting things, then a couple podcast and busted out things on my to-do list. It felt really good.
Then today as well I listened to one spiritually uplifting talk and one podcast.
For some reason though I just felt blue. Probably baby blues since I'm just barely 6 weeks postpartum.
I am someone who is VERY impatient, just ask my husband.
I hate waiting for birthdays, and Christmas because I want to get to the big day NOW.
I am feeling this huge urge to get from point A to point B now! haha
I did one workout, I am doing things to make my life better so shouldn't it be better already?
If only it were that easy.
If it were that easy then every one would be doing it.
It is really frustrating for me to not be at point B right now because I've been at point B before so I know what it feels like to beat this sadness and to be in good shape and to feel like I was on top of the world with the confidence I had.
It was hard feeling blue after feeling so good the day before.
So I know it isn't going to be easy but this is going to be worth it when I am finally at point B.
It's now been a full week since I started and I am feeling pretty good!
So I switched to just focus on one improvement especially with the holiday week.
I like trying to focus on one specific thing to change for now it seems to make things a little more doable mentally.
I tried to do a few things at once the beginning of last week and I got a little overwhelmed with not being perfect so I moved down to one thing to work on which was listening to something spiritually uplifting every day.
I was reminded of my divine value, that I am needed and that the light within me could be the light that someone else needs.
If you're religious, or even if you're not, it is really nice to listen to something that enriches your soul.
I don't know what this next week will bring but this past week it has been really nice to be working towards something.
As a stay at home mom it can get really monotonous and it starts to wear on you.
So my overall observation of this weeks "one thing" that was supposed to help me become better is....
Did it help me become a better version of myself? Yes.
Am I going to continue doing it this following week? Yes,
Did it make a big difference? In some ways, I felt like I was a lot more clear with my thoughts and a little more patient with my kids, I also seemed to have more energy to clean, but I don't know if that is due to being 7 weeks postpartum or the spiritual uplifting things, so I'll try and report on that next week too.
Overall are you better? Yes I am!
Back to the grind! One week down 39 to go!!
