Reality check!

I have not felt on top of my game this week in so many ways......I had a fever Sunday and felt lousy, uncovering the source of it, and getting on the mend fairly quickly but then developed these neck spasms a few of the nights causing a tremendous lack of sleep......I think I need better bed pillows.....they are pretty basic ones......so between that and keeping up in life, I opted for a few more hours to sleep in the morning, and my exercise took a back seat for a few days, and yesterday stopped me dead in my tracks.....Realizing how the absence of it was making me feel.....I rarely take any time off of it for this reason, breaking my own rule, and just feeling depleted and icky from all of it......but this morning I am ready, ready to get back to it, and find the goodness within.....if I ever doubted any of its power the last few days cured me of that:) There is nothing quite like exercise for mental health......it changes everything......literally everything..........and it quite literally has saved me I think.....I do not think my journey would have been like it has without it......learning that when the rubber hits the road, moving my body was the answer....tapping into the well of feel good hormones that live in each of us for the taking! POWERFUL.....that is what keeps us all afloat the complicated energies that find us....so today I have a tough day too to face and I am praying for the best of outcomes.....and trusting the path to here......I am in my favorite chair, doing my blog in my normal flow, with meditation on my mind, and a great workout:) I was also thinking that I think the kitchen renovation, while exciting, is wearing on me some....my house is on its ear lol.....all pulled apart, and that can be hard to live under for a long time.....it has been a couple of months and I miss real food :) But I also know that the moment it is finished will make all of it worth it too......Like it is hard to "clean up" because it still needs to remain a mess in so many places?? If that makes sense? And there is dust etc....everywhere.....so I am just focusing on the blessings of it and there are a ton.....and I am not getting caught up in the stress or mess of it.....leaning into the power of acceptance, it will all be put back together soon enough:) So I write about this today to reiterate the power of moving our bodies.....it is so so powerful and I can't wait to get my workout on:) Have a great day:)
