Oh boy. Here we go again. As I type this my body has yet again decided to shut me down. The last time I had back-to-back colds I was incredibly stressed at a retail job I no longer loved and had anxiety on scales I'll never share. Needless to say (yet I will) the past month has tested my ability to function. Quite literally I have days where I just can't seem to get going. I'll have others when I can't stop what I'm doing to the point where someone has to stop me. I seem to have no grey area. It's all black & white right now.

✨ | My to-do list is long. I have things to buy, do & see. Alas, I keep getting sick. Woke up Friday with familiar symptoms and wanted to scream. I'd just gotten healthy. So I did my homework. I wanted to know why again & why me! Long story short. I'm too stressed and my immune system is shot making it easier for me to catch colds. So now I need to figure out how to get stronger and be less stressed. While eating better and resting more help the strong part of the stress? Well, that's different.

Having anxieties means stress for me is an almost everyday occurrence in some way. Never at these levels. My mom was a buffer a lot of times. She would shield me from stressors in the form of people & things. I don't have that protection now and stressors are more apparent. It's a new world for me to adjust to and I'm not doing so well.

✨ | Here’s hoping I can keep learning & growing but also — stay healthy! I just have too much to do personally and I need to get it done. So. If anyone has suggestions for me I'd love to hear them! I'd love to make February the month of staying healthy!

Love You.
