Healthy Habits and Goals

The year is halfway done, and I found it time to have a little chat about being healthy and our goals. Not only about how it is going, but also about the places where we have arrived. Otherwise, proclaiming it was about the journey after all won’t feel like the truth. So we all wonder, have I created a balance or am I back to where I was? Are any of our goals actually attainable?

Looking Back
At the start of the year, I wanted to continue going to the gym, I have been consistently going for a year. I would love to say I have been going more often, but that would be a lie. Slow and steady might in all truth not win the race, but at least it will get you to the finish. I have been enjoying it immensely, and I think that is the most important part.

Health Wise
I have lost weight since I started. Things don’t go as quickly as people who are blessed with a properly working thyroid, but then again, after switching medications, it has been so much better in general. Healthy eating has also helped immensely with some gut issues I was having, and overall, I cannot complain. I am halfway through my goal, and I think it has been really good for me to keep going with it. I fell off the wagon a bit in January, and that persisted for a while, but then my mother wanted to try eating healthy, too, and it has really motivated me to keep going.

Habit Tracking
I have gotten a new agenda, and I have been diligently tracking my habits. Not all habits will stick, I’m sure, but it does help me a ton with getting a bit more insight into the things I want to film my time with. The things I make time for in my life.

The Next Chapter
For the rest of this year, I want to build further on the foundation I am laying down. The healthy eating and the focus on being better, and really feeling that. without the pressure but with patience. My health in general might always be a point of contention, but I at least want to feel happy in the body that I carry with me. I want to focus on small, relaxing things that can also help me reflect on days and give me space for pushing toward the best version I can be for myself at this moment in time.

I am looking for a rhythm of small choices and tiny victories, of mornings that began softer and evenings that closed with peace. Health, to me, is starting to feel less like a finish line but more like a state of mind, a place to recharge, not to run through. A place loved into bloom.
