Get outta my head! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is this even working cuz I don’t feel different? How do I know it’s working? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Am I getting it right? Omg!!! I can’t concentrate! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is the 10 minutes almost up yet? This is the longest 10 minutes ever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stop thinking...focus! Focus! Argh, I can’t focus right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 100 days straight of my morning @headspace meditation and my mind is still like a squirrel with nut most days while I’m trying to focus on my breath and let go of distracting thoughts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m still enjoying this meditation thing despite the days when the chatter in my head is a serious distraction. The key for me is that I don’t put any pressure on myself in this process and I feel like I’m learning something new on a regular basis- gaining some new understanding with the various guided sessions. I’ve also accepted that this is what it is and some days will be better than others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m happy that I’m able to make the time for a 10 min morning meditation (or power down sess before bed). But not gonna lie, it takes a ton of patience to get used to it and a ton of faith to believe and trust in the process. #meditation is a #workinprogress . . . . . . . . #wellness #wellbeing #mindfulness #mindandbody #meditation #selfcare #selflove #selfhelptips #selfhelp #selfcaresunday #mentalwellness #loveyourself #selfimprovement #healthyliving #selfdevelopment #healthylifestyle #meditation🙏 #personaldevelopment #meditationgoals #over40blogger #theartofslowliving #discoverunder5k #torontoblogger #canadianblogger #lifestyleblogger #yyzbloggerBack at it...again: Went back to a beginner boxing class this week after nearly a month 🤦🏾♀️. TBh I debated at many points in the day whether I was going or not. Like, “maybe I should go to the mall and return that blouse” or “ummm, maybe I’ll go next week because I’m really sooooo tired right now and don’t have the energy...” 🤔 Self-sabotage in its most saddest form, no? Seriously, I couldn’t even get creative with the excuses🙄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But in the end I silenced the nonsense in my head, changed into my workout clothes and headed to class. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I punched hard, grunted loudly and felt like a champ, a very tired champ! 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s funny what can happen when we choose to not listen to the crap we tell ourselves! You could end up enjoying yourself and feeling empowered! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Go ahead, I dare you to silence the chatter and do that one little thing you’ve been putting off doing. Like, go do it, right now and feel good! 💁🏾♀️ . . . . . . . . . #selfportrait #beyourbest #selfcare #fitspiration #healthyliving #selflove #fitnessmotivation #makechanges #focusonyou #healthandfitness #fitnesslifestyle #lifestyleblogger #canadianblogger #boxing #workoutmotivation #healthylifestyle #staymotivated #blackgirlmagic #empowerment #stayinspired #positivevibes #beinspired #healthylifestyle #wellbeing #fitoverforty #over40style #yyzblogger #torontoblogger #discoverunder5kHold up Just a minute!
