I’ve always considered myself a spiritual person. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a relationship with a Higher Power, whether it be God, Jesus Christ, or a Power greater than me. Growing up in a relatively small town, I lived a sheltered life. My spiritual foundation was wrapped around Christianity. I wasn’t exposed to a lot of things, including other religions, until later when I was in my mid-twenties, in college and out on my own. In this blog I’m going to share my spiritual journey. I want to stress that this is MY journey and MY experience. What I have found to work for me, might not work for others and vice versa. My hope is that you read with an open heart and open mind.
I am not an expert in Self-Care. I’m simply a middle-aged, overly stressed, highly anxious, frustrated, at times extremely intense woman, desperately seeking a way to eliminate decades of poor life choices and health habits. This blog was not, I repeat WAS NOT created to portray myself as an expert. If you’re seeking a self-care expert or information on how to properly engage in Self-Care, there are thousands of “experts” on the internet. Trust me, I’ve looked.
I have always been a “bigger” girl. As a kid, it was called being “big boned”. As a baby I was so fat my rolls had rolls. Thank goodness my mom had me by c-section. Otherwise, I think I could have really hurt her! I always felt like a was just average. Not just in my physical appearance, but also intellectually. I never felt like a was a “smart person”. Sure, I had common sense, but I never felt like I was intellectually smart. As a society, we put so much pressure on ourselves. We set unrealistic expectations. At times, these expectations can become overwhelming and detrimental to our wellbeing. In this blog post, I want to share some examples of how I felt at certain times in my life, how I dealt with them and how I’m dealing with it now.
