7 days of stability

Go back

I’ve been busy trying to get my life together.

Not in a purely academic or work-related way (though I have been doing that too!) but mostly regarding my self-image and good habits.

As in, for a whole week now, per day, I’ve been:

• eating 3 meals (and a TON of snacks)
• drinking 8 glasses of water (minimum, since I’m a huge fan of drinking water every few mins, apparently…)
• stretching + doing wall push-ups
• talking to people
• completing one coding and Tagalog lesson

I’ve also been writing down positive affirmations about myself every time I wake up and go to sleep.

And… it’s… working?!?? Surprisingly so?! Hahaha. Man. I can’t fucking believe it.

I feel great about myself. I feel so much lighter— or maybe that’s because I’ve started removing unhealthy shit from my diet, too. I feel like I can actually bounce back from things! Do you understand how wonderful this feels?

To express all the love and light and laughter I’ve accumulated in my body these past few days; Words truly can’t express how much I love doing the things I do, how much I love my friends, and how much I love being here, alive at this very moment!! Thank goodness I’m still here!

..And, to satisfy the pessimist in me, of course I’ll still have my fuckass moodswings and go through the most overwhelming and confusing things ever. But I’m sure that I’ll be able to wade my way through it. I’ll get knocked down, but I’ll get back up again— maybe swing a punch back while I’m at it.

This kind of confidence and hope is so new to me. It’s a very, very welcome change. <3
