Am I OK?

Seriously.

My Body: I have my yearly health check next week and I have been mad at myself because I haven’t really lost any weight since my last (very late) one in February. I did have to remind myself this morning that I have lost inches and that even though my weight is the same, it’s most likely muscle mass. And since I am not hardcore trying to lose weight that maybe I should cut myself some slack.

My Body & Mind: I have also been mad at myself because I can’t seem to cut back on my drinking, but then I have to remind myself that we are living in the middle of a pandemic and probably one of the most difficult years I have faced in a long time. Sometimes an old fashioned is the only way to deal with the pervasive stress and low-key anger I feel every day.

My Mind: I have been neglecting this part of myself. I haven’t really been creating. I haven’t been writing, playing music, drawing, painting… I have been reading so I guess that’s good. Although that’s more an escapist tactic than anything else.

Overall…I guess I am OK. As OK as anyone can be right now. I will celebrate the good in my life and try not to be angry and stressed all the time.
