Just some thoughts 💭
Someone told me, "You look happy." And honestly I am. But for a long time, 10 years to be exact, I wasn't. In my 30s I struggled with finding myself, wanting to know what my purpose was, and I struggled with chronic back pain. You wouldn't know by looking at me... I just experienced it daily which was exhausting.
There's something about how I feel now that feels so good at 43. I think this has a lot to do with prioritizing myself and learning to say no. I don't give energy to things anymore too. If my back hurts I listen to my body and ask it what it needs, but I tell my body you'll be just fine. I don't feed the fear. A lot of my mind set is positive and i try to drop things instead of holding them for days on end.
