It’s been hectic. I seem to be exhausted all the damn time. Saturdays get here too fast and I sometimes don’t have anything written and I end up beating myself up.
‘You can find a balance, just try!’
How can I?
As I was sitting on the can this morning (that’s the most alone time I get these days 😂) I got an urge to check previous posts in March 2023. The universe was directing me to a specific post that I didn’t know I needed. (Tembo diaries; the beginning 😊)
As we march into this last month of the first quarter of the year, let’s take stock. How have you been? I hope everything is going as you planned thus far.
Hope, that was my word for the year 2021. It was befitting since it was after COVID 19. The whole world needed hope. Over the years of pacing my years with a word for the year, I’ve come to realize that it’s equivalent to an anchor ⚓. Just like the earth wire, it keeps you grounded. You may waiver from your goals but the moment you realize it, you can always come back to that word.
In 2022 came consistency. I had already enrolled in the gym and I promised to keep at it. In those days I woke up in no mood, consistency was the anchor. That tree that was planted then came to bear fruit in 2023 during our gym’s end of year party 🎉. I was named Kehl fitness most consistent client 💃🏾. This is just to show that some fruits are not instant. Trust the process while being consistent.
If there is a year I really relied on my anchor was 2023. With the fear of missing out, I had to remind myself to focus. To stay in the moment and enjoy the process. You’re only pregnant for the first time once so you better enjoy it.
Which brings us to today. As I embrace the new version of me, I’m reminded to be still. Not to rush through things but to savour every moment. Be it at the gym, with baby C, working or even writing. I will not overthink anything. Time is fleeting so you should enjoy the moment.
It’ll be 9pm by the time I post this. I no longer feel bad about the delays, of importance is that there is a post out.
Perspective, innit? 😉
