My week in recovery

I think staying home this week forced my to stay still and listen to myself. I have been wanting to make changes but I kept putting myself last. I accept my body for what it is now and for what it could be. I have stopped doing many things I enjoyed and while I can't possibly do it all at once I can slowly start to add in things here and there that make me happy! One major change I want to add is to take 1 hour a day for myself in the form of meditation, sun salutations and exercise. I am lucky to have a supportive husband and job. I want to schedule a dr's appt for a check up but I know the reason I feel I have no energy is because don't do enough things to generate energy. This week I also took advantage of weaning my daughter completely from the boobs. That was a major energy zapper for me because she would nurse a lot at night. Now she is sleeping all through the night (for the most part) allowing me to sleep so much better now. I almost feel like my brain is dusting off the cobwebs caused by the sleep deprivation! This week hasn't been a way I would prefer to spend a school break but it was much needed! Next time, we are going away!
