**This past week has gone a little better... Started off just basically trying to relax and enjoy the longer weekend with my family. We finally put our New grill together and decided to have our own little cookout on Sunday. We made a few things and finally got to swim in our new Pool for the first (and only time so far this week).... I was totally off-track and allowed myself to indulge some this day. But, I was finally able to get my head together to start the week afterwards. It was the FIRST time this entire month that I actually felt I had 'control' again after all the recent drama. And feel in much more control to tackle the New month ahead.
**I was able to stay on track, eat well, slept better, and totally kept up with Activity this week.... We actually found a new Walking trail in this New Park we found a few weeks back. And decided to Hike it. It took us about an hour and I felt great afterwards. I am by NO MEANS an "out-doorsy" / "Wood-sy" type person. I don't like the idea of woods, animals, bugs, the un-known out there lol.... And possibly b/c I also watch ALOT of True Crime shows! lolol... So I just don't typically go into ANY wooded areas! But.. being with my hubby, we decided to just go for it and I felt SOOOO Accomplished at the end. It was different..... The weather has still been up and down throughout the week with Lots of rain... but finally managed to get for walks in the evenings after all the rain passes. And was able to get back to "morning walks" with my mom the past few days.
**I decided to Jump on the Idea of teaching an "Out-door" ZUMBA Class at this new park I found.... While I'm still having my moments regarding losing my Studio class, I'm working my hardest to try not to let this bother me anymore OR allow that Studio Owner to get the best of me. So.. I just posted a message to ALL of my usual peeps that have been with me all this time, and nearly All of them have decided to come~ So this is going to be interesting..., outdoor, on pavement, in the Southern heat~ 
...... So.. after almost 3 months of not seeing them, and not teaching, I will be back to it for a bit to start the week. Feeling a little Anxious ... and have alot of practicing to do this weekend to familiarize myself to the music and choreo again.
**This entire next week is going to be sunny & beautiful.. My intent is to get up "earlier" Saturday Morning to get a Jump-start on the day, get a morning walk in with my mom, hopefully some pool time and then whereever the rest of the day takes us~
ENJOY THE WEEKEND~ STAY SAFE~

@LinearWaves
Thank you so much! You always know just what to say to me. lol.. You're the sweetest. Thank you so much for your support! 
@PoliteOcean , I feel good reading your post. Thank you 
@faithlove1111
Aww thank you Love! I appreciate that. I hope you are doing good! Have a great week!
Started looking after myself better in May@PoliteOcean
May was personal growth
June is finances
I am avoiding doing a budget
I am avoiding pursuing work that will pay for me to live
Sounds foolish, but it's true.
I think to grow I must eat that frog!
This month has really been 50/50, it
@LinearWaves
Hey there Waves!
Sounds like you have had a revelation that many of us at one point come to realize.. That theres good to go with the bad and vice/versa. But I think its awesome that you are able to focus on all the good and major positives that surround you! Its great that you are finally able to find your "normal" again with everything!
I can certainly relate to things being overwhelming in a way and trying to figure out how and the best way to navigage things going forward! It can certainly be overwhelming how to figure it all out and figure out where and how to start!
I think its amazing that you are also still working towards your goals and including them in your day and plans moving forward! Great job! You seem to have so much going on around you at the moment with going back home and work. And when life starts to happen again people can certainly find themselves getting off track with these things a bit... So Kuddos to you for sure on keeping up with it all!!
I LOVE your "plant" idea... I cannot keep plants to save my life..lol... BUT... this past month I bought a few for my front porch and I LOVE them!.. It spruces things up so nicely and gives everything a good facelift.. puts you in a better headspace for sure!... So great idea!!
Sounds like you are certainly keeping yourself busy and staying on top of things in your life! And how awesome that you are making your own card! My son used to do that for me all the time.. Even when he was little he would get on the computer and create his own.. He was so tech-savvy even at a young age.. I'm lucky to be able to manage my own emails! lololol.... That is so nice and Im sure your mom will love it!
Hope that you are having a great week and thank you so much for checking in and letting us know how you've been doing! You are such an amazing member and addition to this community and your positivity just explodes and shines through every week! Take care!
@PoliteOcean
Yup definitely some strong life revelations here, but better late than never lol
I have no clue whether Ill be able to keep my plants alive, but I like the challenge and I like to learn as I go!
Thanks a lot for saying that, such a sweet thing to say! I feel extremely welcomed and supported in this community, so thank YOU! <3
May made me want to cry from frustration as I felt stuck in quicksand, or cement. I was too tired to get back up. I don't want to blame my environment and the "pandemic" anymore. I CAN choose happiness but I chose not to. My happiness right now will come from my sticking to my plan to meditate everyday and plan to finish cleaning my room by the end of the week, month, whatever, just make it clean. I was pressuring myself but still didn't have a clear to do list because I tend to stray from it anyway.
It was a struggle being willing to talk to people. Just plastered a smile for my family without talking much at all. Also, I really wanted to learn Chinese but didn't make any steps towards learning. I'm in this stand still where my mind is worrying worrying, and my body doesn't act. So with the minds worry, things are thrown all out of sanity and calmness, but I stand here thinking what's wrong with me.
One good thing this month is that I worked out for the full week. It's become a healthy routine to workout for just 7 minutes a day. I NEED more healthy habits; but I'm just too sad to pick myself up from the cement I'm in.
@Skyy0 , Hugs to you. I can relate to you on the aspect of feeling stuck . I do go through that phase once in a while, more those days and less now. Nowadays, I self practise patience , non judgemental , kindness and compassion when I am aware I am going through that stuck phase. I go about my daily routine and set, maybe 1 goal and 1 boundary per day . The daily routine helps , especially , meditations( including listening to affirmations, talks , guided meditation) , exercise , restful sleep and meals/snacks rich in vegetables & fruits. I am mindful and know the phase will pass . I call that my hibernating time

@Rebekahwriter13
Wow hey there Rebekah! Long time no see.. Great to see you this week. Thank you for being here this week.
SOrry to hear that you are still dealing with some of the same things that you were dealing with before.
I can certainly understand feeling so stuck that you are unsure how to even pray on it.. I have too been there. But.. you just talk.. thats all. Talk to God. He listens and knows our hearts no matter what.
Sorry to hear about your neighbor. I hope that they are receiving the best care during this time.
Its great that you have been coloring and find that as a positive in your life.. Coloring can be very therapeutic!
I hope that you are able to find time to start walking more again this month too.. Sounds like you can use some peacefulness. Being out doors can certainly help with our mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
Our thoughts and positive vibes are certainly being sent to you during this challenging time that you have been in. Take care. And continue to let us know how you are doing and how things are continuing to go for you. Don't be a stranger we care.
What is the BEST Thing thats happened to you this past month? What has been the BEST Part about it?
I got to work on (and am almost finished with) my first month long goal! The best part would be knowing how good I really am at art.
**How would you SUM-Up or Define how this month has gone for you? What is ONE word you would use?
Disaplined
**What do you feel is the ONE Healthiest thing (or Habit) you decided to do for yourself ,or for your well-being this past month?
This month has honestly been crazy. Most of the month hasn't been for me but for my art challenge. However, being able to do that challenge has let me think of all the goals I want to start working on next month and I'm more motivated to do them.
**What is One thing you are looking forward to the MOST in the New Month ahead?
A better sleep schedule
**What have been your "Highlights" Or "Struggles" over this past week?
My main struggle is that I've been awake trying to finish my art projects (I have to draw 4 pictures a day to complete it on time) and haven't gone to bed until an unruly time.
**What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us This Week?! WE want to hear from "YOU"~
I just want to tell everyone Happy Pride Month! It is going to be different but it will be safer! I do want to tell people to be careful as well. The big homophobic hack that is supposed to happen has a lot of people on edge. Keep safe and HAVE PRIDE IN WHO YOU ARE!!!!!
@SoftHufflepuff

Congrats on your first month long goal! Great job!
Sorry to hear that the month was so crazy for you, but... its awesome that you are staying focused and more motiviated. And its great that you are focused on sleeping better and making a schedule!
Thank you for your lovely PRIDE message! Yes it will be different for many this year who normally take part. And yes.. Love the message in having "Pride in who you are"!.. .Thank you for sharing that with everyone! We should all be who we are and not have to conform to who others want us to be regardless of the situation.
Thanks for the check in, and letting us know how things have been for you!

@theheartproject
Thank you for sharing! It's great to hear that you are adamant on being more active and drinking more water! One thing that has helped me is using a water bottle with a built-in straw. I'm sorry to hear that you injured your ankle and I hope it heals soons! Your advice is also wonderful and helpful!
Yoga, yoga and more yoga. Clear the mind and find my center. Namaste to all !!!!!!!!

It sounds like you had a very interesting week! And anytime is good for cheesecake! Do you have a particular flavor you like? I personally like strawberry and key lime.
It's good to hear that you are looking forward to the summer weather and even the fall! Make sure you stay hydrated
@StanDaMan78 I love any cheesecake, but Chocolate Raspberry or Peanutbutter are the way to go.
