preparing for travel

This is my view right now and I’m feeling overwhelmingly grateful. Just had coffee and did some yoga, now it’s time for journaling and meditation. 🧘🏻‍♀️

As I sat here staring outside, it occurred to me that this is my first time traveling where I don’t feel even a hint of anxiety.

In the past, I would have been making lists and anxiously pacing through the house to make sure I didn’t forget about anything. Today, I’m just enjoying my morning before getting my things together.

I also realized that this is my first trip in a while with connecting flights. In the past that would have stressed me out too.

Today though, when I remembered how much downtime I’d have and how I’d be traveling for so long - I was excited. 🤯

I realized that meant I’d have a ton of time to myself that I could use to read, meditate, brainstorm or watch some of my online training videos. 🤓

I’m also likely to encounter all kinds of situations that challenge me while traveling, and the thought of that had me excited too. Like...wtf is my life. 🙊

I’m having so many optimistic thoughts without trying as hard now. Sometimes they even surface on their own! POG-fucking-champ! 🙌🏼

Anyway I just wanted to share this with y’all as an added boost of hope as you all work hard taking steps on your own personal journeys.

I thought I’d never be happy.

I thought I’d be anxious, depressed and angry forever.

I was so wrong.

Be kind to yourselves today, friends. You’re doing great. 👹💜
