FRIDAY FEELS | HABITS TO PUT IN WHEN YOU CAN, WHEN YOU READY, NOT SAYING NOW BUT WHY NOT?!!

I never try to sound like I'm the most positive mental attitude 24/7 because I'm not fake like that.  I'm not a guru, self proclaimed, or any of that.  I'm just Sheena She. Reiterating the same things that people say over & over.  Nothing new, right?  However, when I can spread sunshine looking like Death, why the hell not.  Last year I was in a funk, not feeling grounded, not depressed but definitely chaotic.  I know how it can be especially in these times where everyone is a "doctor", "scientist", (even they don't know what the hell is going on) and always talking about Covid. Vaccines this, non vaccinated that, masks this, raw dog that.  When do you ever get the chance to check in with yourself to quiet down all the noise?

I made the decision to start grounding myself all over again and going back into my roots especially doing my rituals and routines.

Here are some habits that I started to instill to keep me grounded, balanced, and "healthy" as best as I can, hope it helps someone out there reading this.

ROUTINE!!!

I created small routines that I knew would help me and my mental health.  It doesn't have to be hard or lengthy just as long as you, yourself, can do it on a consistent (TRY TO) basis.  Routines are created to help balance you out, in my opinion.  You can start with even something little like waking up and not picking up your phone first thing in the morning while you lay in bed.  Why would you hurt yourself like that? LMAO.

EXERCISE!!!

I love to lift!!!  I have been going to the gym for years now and during quarantine 2020 I would exercise at home, take a walk in a nature preserve, stretch in my room, lol.  I try to workout at least 3-4 times a week, sometimes just 3, maybe even 5.  It helps me destress, rather than lay like a slob for an hour on my bed, it makes me feel powerful, and strong.  Perks - it makes me feel good when my peach looks a tad cuter.  LMAO.

MAKE MY BED!!!

I nurture and tend my inner moody gothic teenager and at times I just roll out of bed without making it.  It's cool too but I wanted to better myself.  This is part of my routine - it makes me feel prepared to tackle my day even if I am just at home.

PUT DOWN THAT PHONE / DELETE INSTAGRAM & TWITTER!!!

This is really self explanatory.  Listen, as much as I love these sites, it really "dumbs" me down, makes me feel insecure, makes me feel mad, and it's the same shit over and over and over again.  It's ok to try other outlets.  It's ok to get off, log off, and be present.  There is a world that is collapsing out there and I'm ok being present for it.  You don't have to be online.  Let them eyes get some shut eye and rest.  Let your brain grow again.  I don't know how to describe it but it's just healthier.  Your posture will be better and you skin won't age. 

Love,
