We survived the stress of having a wedding! It was the perfect day and I still feel like it was all a beautiful day dream. I have SOO much to share and process about the process of planning a wedding and being a bride in recovery, but those will be their own posts. This one is more for me to set an intention.
I feel like I lost a lot of my balance in life while I was trying to keep myself stable through the wedding stress. Now, I'm trying to find it and get back to who I am when I am my healthiest. When I say "my healthiest" I mean all aspects: mentally, physically, spiritually, and connected with family and friends. I want to make choices that honor my body's physical wellness: meal planning, food prepping, participating in movement that feels fun and respectful, not painful punishment. I will keep up on my medications: taking them and refilling them before I run out. I want to take time to process my thoughts and feelings through regular writing sessions in my personal journal as well as on here. I want to make more time to make meaningful connections with my friends and family.
Yesterday I planned out all my meals for the week (with the help and support of my husband) and today I shopped for everything we needed for the week. After work I prepped all my breakfasts and lunches for the week so all I will need to do in the mornings is grab my containers for the day and stick them in my lunchbox. For movement, I took Reece on a brisk walk. I called in a prescription refill and will pick up tomorrow on my way home! I know this is a short post, but putting my intentions "out there" is my first step to getting back into the groove that makes me feel my best.
<3 Stay Strong and Beautiful
