Getting back on track after a rough year
Last year was rough for me. I felt really insecure and overwhelmed with so much uncertainty in life. I started avoiding people and even stopped scrolling social media altogether. Since June, I haven’t been to the gym, and I didn’t even go on my favorite hikes. My tent has just been sitting folded up for a year. I gained 16 pounds in less than a year, feel slower than before, and my place got messy because I didn’t feel like cleaning up. At the end of the year, my grandma passed away, and it hit me — life’s too short to overthink everything. You’ve just gotta enjoy the moment. Last week I finally got back to the gym, and wow… that post-workout sweat felt amazing. My mind feels clearer and my mood’s already better.
If any of you feel like I did, I seriously recommend just moving a bit, getting some exercise, and giving your brain a break. You’ll feel better, I promise!
