I’ve realized lately that feeling like you HAVE to do something can make you resent doing even the things that you love the most. I experienced that this past month with just about everything that I’d been balancing (my social media presence and fitness included) But whenever I feel myself forcing myself to do something, I step away entirely until my head is clear and I remember the reason behind my doing it in the first place. I listen to my body and mind and lean into that resistance instead of fighting it — I figure that I have nothing to lose since I’m lost anyway, right? It’s incredible how life works, really, it’s like constant cycles of losing yourself to then find yourself again. Most of the time we don’t even realize that’s what’s happening until we make it out of the other side, and by then we’re entirely new versions of ourselves One thing I know for certain is this — the biggest disservice that you could do yourself is to resist the change that inevitably comes with being alive because that’s the only constant there is. The only constant is change Thank you, God, for the ability to grow and evolve! It can be uncomfortable af, but it’s a beautiful thing to be alive and it’s a blessing to get to meet every new version of myself 💛
