I have heard the people call this the Saturn return. These are the things I’ve committed to for myself as I navigate many major changes my life that feel scary & vulnerable.
To take ownership of my health & snuggle with my demons, these are my non-negotiables. I’ve been keeping a list of my “mood boosters” which are things I notice help uplift me and things to avoid that I notice lead to headaches or tummy aches 🥲
The great news is that I think my exposure therapy is working, I’ve been able to eat a lot more cheese without problems 🥰🥰🥰

It is very true that rugby is more fun when you’re fit but conditioning doesn’t have to be running line to line & it doesn’t have to be boring! I absolutely LOVE playing touch in the park. Last year when I had my whoop my score was way higher for an evening of touch than it was at wer practices! You don’t have to dread conditioning :)
