Well, it has been a while since I wrote something. I needed a break because I didn’t feel mentally good. I order to give it here my best I couldn’t do that if I feel like crap. Personal care need to come first in order that you can function normally, in my case.
Number of times I would like to start recording beauty video or new look, but when I finished and editing too I did not feel that I’m happy something was missing. After, a few weeks I did know what was bordering me. I could not look again in the mirror … Unconsciously, depression starts kicking in … That was not a good sign for me .. I needed to do something about it. Otherwise, I could feel what is coming up. So, I decided to start 30 days challenge.. Small goal, let me see how I will felt after 30 days.
After two weeks I felt alive again and happier. By the time I finished the challenge, I cloud look myself in the mirror without being depressed. This isn’t my first fitness journey but, somehow it always found out the way back in my life. In the past, I wanted to just lost weight and be done with it. This time is different because I can’t be done with it I maybe never been able to wear size 2 but, what I can do is shape my body the best that I can (according to my genetics). I finally got in the peace with that. If the numbers on the scale discourage you, took a photo of yourself every 3 weeks to see the progress. I personally do that. You can also track your workouts and your feelings, so you if you can’t feel progression read your thoughts.
What do you do when you hit your bottom? Also, please let me know if you want to read more about these kinds of stuff?
P.S. I’ll put some photos that maybe inspires you to make move on your own, if you need light push forward like I did. It is going to last just if you are working out for a right reasons.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a break when you need it for yourself. It’s also good to read that you are ok with where your fitness journey is and keep working on it but also know your limits.

Balance is very important, I agree 🙂

It’s important to take a break whenever you need it – you did the right thing… we all need time out sometimes.

I completely agree. A bit of the step back is not necessarily bad thing 🙂

Good to see you took a break when you needed to do so Marcella. Surrendering and just pulling back are 2 key qualities that happy folks develop. Happy blogging.
Marcella's Mind says:
Thank you so much. Yes, to go in the right mind set sometimes, you need to make a few steps back first in order to go more forward. Happy blogging to you too 😀
