detoxing… this is gonna suck.

So I’m trying this new thing this week to coincide with detoxing in my personal life.

Finally getting back on track with friends.  Finally said my final goodbye to the boy.  Don’t feel hurt so much now— just feel content that I know its over and where we stand.

So now that I’ve gone through a bit of cleansing in my life, I thought I should take care of the rest.  I’ve let my health suffer, my body suffer, and my relationships.   Now that the relationships are on the mend, it’s time to focus on me.

So I’m trying something I havent’ done in a long time.  I’m taking the time to look at my body and actually give it what it NEEDS.  I’m attempting a detox for a week, if only to see if i have the strength, lol.  For one week, I’m going to cut out sugar and coffee, just to rejuvenate and kind of reset my body.  I’ve developed some really horrible habits since summer, when I was working two jobs and not sleeping or working out or even eating right— it’s time to get back on track so I can be happy and feel good.

Things need to change— I realized that after some catastrophically confusing and painful weeks.  I’ve let a lot go, and now its time that I focus on me, which is something I’ve been neglecting a lot lately.  And I’ve realized that I can no longer just neglect myself.  I’m always to willing to cut out time for me first, and I can’t do that anymore— not for anyone.  

Why are we sometimes so willing to give up on ourselves when we should be our number one priority?  Your relationship with yourself is the one you need to make sure is healthy before you cut yourself out, regardless of the shit you’re dealing with from your boyfriend, best friends, whatever.  Don’t give up on yourself— it’s not right and you’ll miss a lot.
