Happy New Week 🥰
Sharing some things I stopped doing after my diagnosis and treatment to prioritize my peace, health, and happiness:
1️⃣ I don’t compromise on sleep. It’s 8 hours or more, unless it’s an event weekend and I have no choice (and that’s rare). Rest is healing.
2️⃣ I stopped worrying excessively. Worry solves nothing. I focus on solutions and trust God with what’s out of my control - The serenity prayer helps me with this.
3️⃣ I stopped holding grudges. Letting go of anger frees my mind and heart. I accept people as they are (= love) but place them where they belong (= wisdom). Forgiveness is for me, not for them.
4️⃣ I stopped focusing on negativity. Gratitude and positivity help me stay grounded and happy. I actively look for the silver lining in every situation. - Started the Gratitude Jar this year!
5️⃣ I don’t harbor negative energy. If something doesn’t bring peace, joy, or growth, I lovingly let it go—even if it means loving people from a distance.
6️⃣ I stopped procrastinating self-care. Whether it’s a quiet walk, reading, massage, facial, travel, or a fun activity, I carve out time to recharge my mind and spirit.
7️⃣ I don’t compare myself to others. My journey is unique, and I celebrate my own progress and milestones.
8️⃣ I don’t skip activities that soothe my mind. Coloring, meditating, yoga, reading, or just sitting in silence keeps me centered.
9️⃣ I stopped multitasking too much. Being present in the moment brings clarity and reduces unnecessary stress.
🔟 I stopped chasing perfection. Life isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being real, grateful, and present.
1️⃣1️⃣ I don’t fear saying “no.” Prioritizing myself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary for my peace and happiness.
And ohhh, I still partyyyy! 🎉 I just make sure I listen to my body, lay low afterward, and get my inside and outside energy back up when I’m done. Balance is key!
I don’t think these things will make me immortal, but I certainly want to ensure I live a life that is happy and fulfilling. 💕
