Well, I just got laid off… I‘ve had a migraine since the middle of the night, I didn’t sleep well, and my hair is not cooperating today lol, damn hard water! But it’s my BIRTHDAY and I’m going to do everything I can do to feel good and enjoy my day. That’s how I’ve been living my life lately. I’m regularly sensing how I’m feeling, asking myself what I need, and what will help me. Things can’t always go my way, but what do I need to do next? What is my body and my gut telling me? What can I learn and use to my advantage? I’m trying to learn the art of not letting what happens to me or around me define me or get inside of me. It’s a work in progress, but I’m shedding old skins 🐍 to emerge as my best self, and nurturing my inner child and younger self. It’s extra difficult when you physically don’t feel good in your own body, but I’m slowly learning how to heal myself.
So I finally got up and running, showered, ate a great lunch cooked by my amazing husband who always spoils me on my bday, worked out, danced around to my favorite music videos in my garage gym, meditated (yes, meditated! I’m evolving lol 😂) and went to dinner at the OG spot Clyde’s. And the menu was hitting!
Although the news was a sudden, unexpected change, I feel strangely relieved to not have to think about work and performing and to be able to just enjoy the holidays without extra pressure. It’s time for a break. I’m very blessed that for the first time ever in my life, I can afford to take a couple months off without worrying too much about money, which is not the case for everyone, so I’m counting my blessings! For once, I don’t have to keep grinding and pushing myself so damn hard. I can actually pause and take time for myself without fear. I earned it! I am no stranger to adversity. I’m going to do what I do every time, rebuild and come back stronger. As they say, success is the best revenge! 😉 Salud to all the strong ass women out there 🥂🧡
