The picture on the left is me in February of this year. The picture on the right is today. 5 months. This is not a significant amount of fat I lost. This is a significant amount of stress and anxiety I had to release.
If no other person can preach about up and down weight , I can. However, this past year took me through some tremendous roller coasters. And guess what? I am not nearly finished on this journey.
I visited medical doctors several times and not one person could identify why I was expanding and feeling fatigued. One doctor said a little too much one day. She said "Your cortisol levels are a little high." Cortisol ? I did some research and it all made sense. My anxiety had never EVER been so bad in my life. Like ever. It was so bad I practically begged friends to hang out just so I can run literally away from my issues.
None of my natural remedies seemed to be working so I took medicine for a week. I was a whole sloth. I decided not to take the medicine any longer. I did not like how I started to feel. I am empath and highly sensitive and I felt so off. I got real still and I prayed more. I drank more water and I became mindful of my stressors and the choices I can make.
I treated myself better. I am treating myself better. I stopped asking for people to hang out with me. I stopped reaching out to certain people. I reached within. I raised my standards in all areas of my life. I am still doing all of these things today. I am not perfect. I've hurt people and as I am growing I will not engage in certain things, therefore some relationships are estranged and some relationships are on a good note. Both ways I'm still living. And I'm wishing everyone prosperity. This is not a full, long blogpost. But rather a brief awareness as to how much has change when I am aware of where my energy flows. I think God made me go through some turbulent times once more (there will be more) so that I can guide and coach people. My journey is far from over and my only goal is optimal health.
Anyway ciao! I'm still enjoying Costa Rica ♥️
