My second calendar for 2021. Actually, I would say, 2020 was a completely normal year for me. In fact, the last few years have been pretty demanding, too, both professionally and emotionally. The stress has continued on through 2020. Unlike in previous years, I feel the effort this year is quite positive, still a bit exhausting, after I started a new job at the @ndorgs in the finance and administration department in spring. Not a top position with high pay or high reputation, but a new start in the world of NGOs, that also kept me busy privately and in which I wanted to work earlier before. Therefore, the corona virus has so far played a rather incidental role for me, though it has absolutely affected my life, too. But I was able to implement the necessary safety measures in my everyday life without major problems and the virus has spared my closest environment to this day. And compared to the stress of the previous years it didn‘t feel like a big burden to me. Still, at the end of the year I feeling a bit exhausted from work in the office and at home. I am curious what will happen in 2021 and I hope you end 2020 with what is on today's last calendar page for 2020: Love, love, love! 💕💕💕 I wish you all a peaceful New Year‘s Eve! 🎇🎆 #staysafeandhealthy #moreselflove #moreselfcare #lookingfor2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd02f-naq0/?igshid=1drz11aoc9dg8

STRESS IS THE ENEMY🙅🏻‍♀️ #moreselfcare . . . I’ve SLOWLY (now rapidly) been learning that self-care is part of the balance equation, and I ALWAYS left myself last. Actually most of my life I treated myself relatively poorly - junk food, junk thoughts, no sleep, push more; there was always something that I just “had to achieve” and only after I could slow down. I was so determined to work hard as hell until x then y then z. I hung on this roller coaster ride for a pretty damn impressive amount of time (12 years ish). The stress levels associated with that mindset made it feel as if stress was a fuel that I needed. But stress is detrimental to our health in all ways no matter how much you may thrive in it. Luckily when I graduated college I started to get a grip and toned the rollercoaster ride down a lot. . . . That was 3 yrs ago and I only toned the extremity down instead of changing the mindset. #Lymeandco can feel like a curse but it also feels like a blessing because I’ve been so hyper-focused that it took a very serious critical condition to make me actually stop and truly listen to my body and give it what it needs #healthisreal but I was pretending like I could out run it all these years. . . . WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL ABOUT YOUR HEALTH IS that you can ✨CHOOSE TO✨ listen to your body. We have so many minutes, seconds, hours available for all these other things like work, school, bills, etc. in our days. Those are the same minutes, seconds and hours available for us to try to be healthiER (emphasis on improvement not perfection) and fail and try again. We just have to care enough about our bodies to listen to what it needs and prioritize accordingly. . . I’m pretty sure my body is still made of chipwhiches, cheetos, pizza rolls from the other 24 years but we’re working on it 🤣. Somedays are better than others, I haven’t been running much lately bc I don’t have energy. I have to cook or run not both {and YOU GUYS HAVE POSTED TOO MANY DELICIOUS RECIPES LATELY 😩🤤😍}. Today’s 60 minute session will hopefully launch me back on track #detox wise. . Hope you have a fab Saturday & SHOW YOURSELF SOME LOVE! 🌞🌻♥️ #lymewithsalt (at Longevity Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpcjjtkH_-p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n5fwtft16u6f
