There is Always Tomorrow
If I had a dollar for every time that I have said this to myself, I would be very VERY wealthy. I used to use this phrase as an excuse to give up on things that were challenging and fall into old habits that were extremely detrimental to my overall wellbeing - especially when it came to my eating disorder. My decisions became cyclical and faith in myself was harder to find.
I continue to say this phrase - but I use it as a reminder that I am human and that it is ok to start over again rather than find excuses to go back to what feels easier or more “comfortable.” I am sure that some of you that are reading this can relate to falling back into what we know and how frustrating that can be when we are trying so fucking hard to be better.

So let’s talk about healthier habits - They look different for everyone and WOW they are hard to stick with. Im not at all talking about working out more and eating healthier because do what you want boo. I am talking about things that you need to feel clearer and safer in whatever space you occupy; body, mind and/or spirit.
I have been connecting more with my spiritual self as of late and trying to find ways to connect further and deeper within that allows me then to continue showing up for myself. One thing that I have been diving deeper into is astrology (check out my dear friend’s Yoga Magic podcast episode about all things intuition and astrology)and trying to understand myself via birth chart. I had a reading done with a local Astrologer, Meredith, and holy shit did I feel seen. Don’t get me wrong, therapy is so important - but for me this was about 20 therapy sessions in one and I saw some light. Through this I have been adding more meditation in my morning routine as well as smudging (check out the benefits) once a week. For me it’s like hitting that refresh button and starting over.
I have had people tilt their heads or giggle at me when sharing what I have been practicing as of late - honestly whatever. It might be different for you and that is ok - the point is look a little deeper within and reflect on some things that may bring some clarity into your life and allow space for true self care. Growth and change are hard but also exhilarating. I am going to continue to fall, but one thing I will continue telling myself is that it’s ok - there is always tomorrow.
