This morning started with denial, irritability, and wildly misplaced confidence that I could still power through anything.
You know the vibe... injecting coffee straight into my veins, cursing the weatherman like he personally victimized me, and dramatically questioning every life choice that led me to living in what currently feels like the Arctic tundra.
Despite this, I was fully prepared to white-knuckle my way through fatigue and sinus pressure and pretend everything was just peachy keen.
And then I paused. CRAP I can't be a freaking hypocrite 🙄
I remembered our convo from last night’s Winter Wellness Facebook Live and begrudgingly took a breath, put the sword down, stepped out of the ol' Warrior Mode, and let Wellness Weirdo Dani take over instead.
I took our advice... tea, honey, essential oils, humidifier on, and actually slowed down to do some nervous system regulation and take care of my body before it tips any further in the wrong direction.
10/10 would recommend listening before your body files a formal complaint. Turns out the prize for powering through is usually just getting sick.
So anyways, how is everyone else surviving winter, honestly? 🥴❄️
