Throughout the week, I have been following a strict routine. Last night, I slept past my bedtime, broke my routine, and am now feeling the consequences of my decision with a migraine. My body is feeling weak right now.
It’s a Saturday and I choose to find a balance between what I am feeling and what my body can do. I will still have a list of things that I am aiming to do but I will not be strict about it, at least for today. Today, I just feel like respecting my body and my body is telling me to slow down from yesterday’s grind. Yesterday, I woke up really for a pitch, meditated, and did my morning routine except for the workout and yoga because I slept late the night before as well. After a day of work, I had to teach an online class and rush to the gym to teach a physical class. I also had a chance to talk to some of my colleagues in the gym and had a nice video call with Alex. I am exhausted now, and I need this time to slow down and redirect my energy within.
Today, I also had a slow catch-up with my parents and my dogs. I realize that I’ve been busy with work recently and shouldn’t neglect giving attention to them, and at the same, to my body that is asking for a day’s rest. I couldn’t even get to look at my to-do list right now or write else what I have to do for the remainder of the day.
I have responsibilities in the evening — go to the gym, work out, and teach a yoga class. The rest, I’ll leave it to my body and mind.
Today at a glance from Co-star:
Cook yourself a nourishing meal.
Yes, that is what I am doing. Relaxing and nourishing my body.
