One of the best ways to stay busy is to find ways to be a better version of yourself. A few years ago I entered therapy and uncovered traumas I didn’t know I had. I discontinued and realized recently this is something important I need in my life. Well, I started my journey back today with a new therapist that presents a lot of promise. I can’t wait to navigate these new waters again. I even consider it my own personal journey of self care. I love that I can also do it virtually from my bed. Win win!! If you are on the fence about therapy, jump over. You won’t regret how it helps you to smooth out this difficult journey, mentally and emotionally.

You know, sometimes I sit back and think about my journey. Let me tell you why this is so important. Generally we get wrapped up in the obstacles in our way that we don’t enjoy the journey. Yes, I was 80 pounds smaller way back when, I had abundant energy, and no pain. I have realized though that pain has made me so much stronger- mentally, and emotionally. What about you, do you ever think of your journey or even journal about to see how far you’ve come? It can be such a satisfying thing to look back and really see how far you’ve come. Here I go, back to my pen and paper.
