Out of nowhere!

Great self care day today.

Probably the best one I’ve had in a long time.

Got to the gym this morning by myself for the very 1st time & killed it.

Moving my body while listening to music and sort of zoning out felt nice.

I’m new to gym life... is this why people exercise lol?!

Expressing myself, sharing, singing, playing my keyboard, meditating, eating before noon, and working in my self confidence workbook all felt so good and not forced.

Which is wild because I’m weaving in and out of a pretty 💩-y depression spell and this morning I woke up feeling different (thank god or source or whoever)!

I woke up with a deep knowing about myself.

It’s difficult to put into words but I’m really thankful for it & for today.

I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring or when I’ll make it to the gym next ☺️, but I’m proud of myself. Even if no one else is. Only I know the personal hell I face nearly every day. So to have a day like to day is f-ing epic (and I never use that word... or haven’t until this moment)! Tonight I celebrate me! 👑

Thank you for being here and for listening.

We all deserve the best & I’m thankful we can be here for and with each other ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hello brokenlight.

I am happy for you ! I like belonging to this group because people here understand and I feel less alone. I also enjoy going to the gym to work out because even though I may not interact with anyone I like being with people who are also working out and doing something for their physical and mental health. I hope you keep both up. Good luck.
