Drink a ton of water and be mindful of what I ingest, especially unnecessary negative vibes that are easily avoidable by just hitting the X button or walking away. But also I partake in all of the above. I find that even though it should, exercising doesn’t do much to improve my emotional health. I noticed some time ago the physical benefits are there but the mental ones not so much. Don’t know what that’s about. A lot of things feel like a bandaid for my emotional health but none of them teach me how to improve it at the source. They do have their place though. So what I’ve embraced when the timing is right is not shy away from a crippling fall that could end up shaking me to my core. Letting myself slip so I can find the fight and ingenuity to create new mental pathways that could prevent the really drastic slipping in the first place is really up there for me improving it all together.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart Wow! That is an amazingly beautiful response. Sometimes these things do feel like a rubber band being stretched and it always wants to go back to a place of familiarity. I completely agree. I do get benefits from an exercise routine. Things have been hard lately with my dog in her advanced age, she's my best friend and 16 years old, now having health issues that are quite the rollercoaster ride for me.

I try to spend some time every day reaching out towards things that help me grow and people who are on that same wavelength for inspiration. I really appreciate your reply 💖🌷🌈

@MySpiritEvolves Oh, my heart. I know every person’s journey is unique, but I do feel your pain regarding your furry baby. Was on that roller coaster myself and man, did it beat the tar out of me in so many ways. Stay strong through this trying chapter, but definitely don’t shy away from turning that strength off so you can pause the fight to just enjoy this precious time you have with her. Every minute we have with these angels is precious. But the ones in their final chapter, even more so.

You’re doing this thing called life right. Keep shining your light and being open to it in return. There’s a ton of it out there just waiting to reach you ☮️
