Trying to stick to my feeding plan as much as I can. It gets difficult at times so every day I can check that box, I feel happy.
Using heavier weights for my workouts. It makes me feel great and so powerful to help my body fight stored trauma.
Using my words to be able to say what I want to say.
Yooooo!!! Me too!! I make sure to piss myself off real good before going to the gym. I'll be pacing like a madman before I get in the car. I know I'm ready when I don't even want to go outside because even sunlight is offensive. One time, I pushed it too hard and had to ground myself in the car at the gym parking lot for 15 mins. Between sets, I'm pacing and stimming with my earbuds in. Prolly look like I think I'm in a rap video.
I catch people side-eyeing me often. But, I could tell who gets it because I catch them doing similar and are friendly to me when we're near each other.
I don't know if this will work for the trauma eventually or just a mandatory habit now, but it's made adjusting my weighted blanket a lot easier.
Keep it up!
Weighted blanket for the win!
I workout at home because I am too much of a germaphobe to go to a regular gym but also too self conscious about how I look while exercising lol BUT reading your comment made me glad there are other people out there pushing themselves to do better and not feeling judged for it.
Can relate to the rap video! I like old school stuff mostly but that big dawgs tune is fire.
Oh I hope it'll work out for you eventually because it will, literally, change the way you go through life ❤️
