Hey guys! This is a super raw video diary about how I’ve been feeling lately. Coming to terms with the highs and lows of life and always picking myself back up🩵
Awe, you are going to be ok 😊 Like you said, learn to welcome it all (the highs and the lows). I'm also a yogi and when I step away from my yoga practice I feel it in my body and in my mind so quickly .This sounds cliche but I'm sure you've heard of Yoga with Adrienne? My friends and family and I do her January daily yoga challenge. Her classes are short but very sweet. It leaves us all feeling so much better. That challenge keeps us going and also gets us in a regular yoga routine for the rest of the winter. I Iive in Canada and like you, the winters can be a bit dark and gloomy at times! Anyways, keep going! ❤👍
Thank tou🩵 and yess Adriene is the one who got me into yoga years ago! My partner is doing her challenge now and I join him some days (actually the other yoga that you can see in this video is her class haha). I definitely should focus on doing yoga more regularly, even if it’s just a short practice. Sometimes I think I should do practice that is more intense and then end up doing nothing at all…a silly mindset that I’m trying to change.
You’re gonna be ok, girl! ☀️ Winter darkness gets me down all the time, even without anxiety in the mix. I'm almost 46, financially secure thanks to a well-paid job, happily married, loving life in general, and still the state of the world today creeps me out. 😱 Over the years I have learned my own personal way of keeping the darker parts in check by not overthinking things I can't change, changing things I can change, and not overthinking too many options and what-ifs. I haven’t planned my life to become what it is. It kind of happened anyway. Taking chances, stumbling across opportunities, making the most of what I thought would be a fun idea or a good step in an interesting direction. Picking myself up when the fun idea or interesting direction turned out to be a really, really bad thing after all. Took me long enough, does not work all the time, but what DOES work is prioritizing things and thoughts that make me feel good, that make me happy. I repeat: You’re gonna be okay, girl!! You rock! 🎉
Thank you so much for being open about this ❤ It really helps to know that I am not alone going through this. It really resonated with me when you said it was like everyone else but you was given a secret trick on how to navigate life. But I guess we have to trust our ability to fulfill our own needs and aspirations.
It’s so strange isn’t it? I guess some people have a clearer idea what they want to do in life (like a specific career that they are passionate about and want to succeed in) and that makes it seem they have their shit together. But in the end maybe we are all just wondering what is going on:D
I feel this! I find that this time of year more than any other, I need to prioritize exercise and naps/rest. Also it's a good time to take inventory of the last year and map out/journal what I want to see happen in the next few months. Just know, you aren't alone :)
I used to be like you and sometimes still am. The truth is life is insecure like this, but it becomes even more clear when you dont want to engage with how people think it should be. The only solutiom to it is what you are already doing right now and the answers, your own answers from within, will come
Joo pitää jaksaa uskoo vaan että kaikki kääntyy parhain päin ja yrittää nauttia tästä sekamelskasta! Ja siis mulla meni kaks tuntia kun täytin ton Yearcompassin mut oli kyl sen arvosta:F
I feel the same these winter days. When is your birthday? Mine is June 11, I'll be 28 this year. I am always so glad for the change to Spring. It'll be here before we know it 😊 the warm weather always brings me back to life
