Living life as it comes
I write this, coming to you from a place of caring. Not judging. I am not going to tell you how to live your life or what your priorities should be, because no one can determine that for you. All that being said though, there is a plague on our society today and I can’t let another day pass without addressing it.

When you’re on a health and healing journey, there are a lot of little decisions that you need to make in terms of lifestyle choices. It can be hard to know what to embrace and what to throw out. I feel like intuitive eating falls into that category of specific topics that seem…healthy…ish. And at that point we can feel quite unsure. Should we try this? Or will it end in a complete dumpster fire?

I’m one week into my journey of facing my fears as a way of life, and I’m not sure how I’m feeling. This has been a strange week, with a high current of emotions as I began to dismantle my life in many seemingly small ways.

I’m looking out at the newly falling snow and trying to hear the voice within. With January 1st around the corner, the voices around me are getting so loud.

We live in a world where people make money just by making their life look fab. We want to show the world that we’re awesome too, and that we measure up (we really do). So we tend to try and put on a happy face when we’re struggling. Even when we’re progressing we want to make sure it looks extra doubly amazing. We wish that our whole life would be worthy of a facebook post or an incredible vlog, and we even buy and sell stuff that has the message “no bad days”. Verbatim. Seriously.
And this is a post about that. Because deep down, it’s something that we all know. Not every day is going to be amazing. Not every moment or experience is going to be mind blowing and gorgeous. But on the bad days, those days when you just don’t feel like a rockstar, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded.
