My body clock woke me up at 6am, before my alarm at 6:15am. I stayed in bed for a half an hour longer as I felt I wasn't used to being awake at this time. After I recovered, at 6:45am I got up and started prepping my apple cider vinegar shot and my lemon water as I took my Silicon + Collagen shot. I washed my face and got refreshed. I started making my Beet Latte with probiotics after that, then my oatmeal with avocado and boiled egg + moringa + cayenne pepper for taste. I felt really good being productive first thing in the morning without being interrupted by chatty conversations and feeling like I had to pretend to be someone else. It was nice being myself for a change. I felt like it was something to share about on this blog, something that I am proud of doing and being for once. I read a bit of my Bible, specifically Proverbs 9, as it is March 9, 2019 today. I also read my parents email about how they love me and how reassured it made me felt that they were willing to support me as long as God is the center. That made me think about how I can glorify God in my life & what changes I need to do to make that happen. That will be my question I will think about for the rest of the day. How can I do it in my workplace, my career, my relationships, with how I live. I want to be constantly thinking about how I can glorify Him in everything. Because that is me, and that is who I am and who I want to be - a woman of God- a woman of praise and a woman of worth and of love.
Having these couple days with a break from the world in the evening have been amazing. Being in bed by 9pm and sleeping by 10pm- man, I think it is doing wonders for my skin. And having this time in the morning to read, self reflect, make something, and just be prepared overall is the best feeling ever. I don't feel particularly rushed or exhausted because I was able to get proper rest. I am feeling like myself again. Interacting with people I care about, taking the time to help others, prioritizing what is important in my life and actually making a plan to do it, and finding the time to rest. I feel like I am actually doing my 15minutes of morning pages now- something that I've been wanting to do since I moved here. I am actually doing it! And that is worthy of celebrating.
I am grateful for many things. I am grateful for God, who loves me and who looks out for me. I am grateful for my family and my friends. I am grateful for the ability to pay rent downtown and the ability to work my multiple jobs at a luxury high performance Gym, representing a nutritional health store/smoothie bar at their locations and events, being able to represent other brands and help them win, and also being able to work on set- even in the background for now. It makes me happy to make time in the morning to write, to read, to clean, to stretch even. To be able to do this kind of thing is great.
Today's intention is to bask in gratitude. To be grateful for all that I have today and all that I went through to be here. And to also think about how I can glorify God in my everyday life. I am excited for what this day will bring, especially this evening after work, which I get the opportunity to organize and get things done. I hope to play a little bit of music before bedtime tonight as well. Because it is bedtime by 9/10pm and the goal is to wake up early in the morning and to go to the gym before church! Then work again!
Speaking off, better scurry so I can make a boxing workout!
Yours truly,
J
