Still Working

I’m slowly making progress. I’m focusing on my mental health first since it’s the center of everything. When I’m stressed I overeat and don’t feel like working out. When I’m happy I can do it all. Mental health is where I’ve seen the most progress, but it’s still tough progress sometimes. I’m trying to create habits that let me reflect on what makes me happiest. On days where I start my day journaling, I tend to do workouts that I think are more fun, and I also get more done at work. The problem shows up when I oversleep and can’t justify spending 30 minutes journaling before work. It’s ok though, because I’m doing this for me, so I just need to find out what works for me. Anywho, I mentioned I’ve made progress and it isn’t just on my mental game. I’ve lost 5 lbs and become more active. I’ve also managed to read more, played more cello, and in general did more for myself. So while I haven’t made a ton of progress, and I’m still struggling sometimes on my mental game, I can see the positive moves I’ve been making. I don’t have to do it all at once, I just need to find a way to make this sustainable for myself. I can’t lose the weight and become healthier if I’m only focused on the next two weeks, I need to make changes for my whole life if this’ll work. Things I’m currently focusing on the most is how I talk to myself. I’m working on finding the balance of being honest with myself and not talking negatively about myself to my detriment.
