I bit off more than I could chew.
I want for this blog to be a space where people feel comfortable offering out their emotions, therefore I want to be completely transparent with my own.
For a little bit, I got down on myself. It's a vicious cycle that is a struggle for me day in and day out.
In order to get out of these cycles, I have to come back to the things that help my connect back to my Self. For me, that's yoga, being creative and connecting with people (especially over food). Now that I was able to be with my emotions then, connect back with my Self I can come forward and rationally analyze where I felt I slipped.
Posting daily, in theory, seemed easy, I have done this challenge for years, as I mentioned before but for some reason posting it to the public eye made it somewhat daunting for me. I would rewrite what I wanted to say constantly because I wanted to create the "perfect" post. This for me made me enjoy the exercise less, it took away from the purpose of attitude of gratitude and that is to become centered and be grateful.
So, before I run off on an even longer tangent, I will say this. Going forward with what is left of this challenge I am going to post weekly instead of daily, so I do not continue to stress myself out.
Namaste y'all.
