SELF CARE, SELF DETERMINATION, SELF LOVE.

As I reflect on my journey to healing my body, mind and soul, with proper nutrition, exercise, meditation and Cannabis medicine. I would share a few things that resonated with me. The first thing being, where I am today is definitely not where I was last year, or even yesterday for that matter. I’m constantly transforming myself and my life by extension. How am I doing this?

Probably over 220 lbs then. & struggling with physical and psychological trauma. “…Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others…” Buddha.

One of the greatest secrets I’ve learned on this journey, is the value of self care. I mean it, seriously! I had to start taking care of myself, otherwise I could not be here sharing my thoughts on the gem called self care. You have to learn how to listen to the body, be in touch with every arteries, cell, muscle, organ and connect to them. Especially, if you are using Cannabis as your food and medicine. So exercise becomes an essential part of any self care routine. Self determination plays an important part in me getting out there too. I made the choice to get up out of that depressing way of life, to battle pain at whatever cost it meant to find joy and relief. That means working on self.

This was last year when I really started feeling my environment, and the benefits of walking. I started to lose weight, and felt less depressed by the mundane.

Remember to be kind to yourself, love yourself, and be happy with each step you take to progress in transforming your life. Always, recall that we are all individuals, and we do things differently. So we must be patient with one another in how we travel our paths to wellness. We each have to go at our own pace, and find the best methods that work for us. For me, it’s the walking for miles, that is motivating me to push myself further, in reviving those atrophied muscles, tissues and cells.

I’m also committed to setting and achieving goals for myself. I also keep in mind that if I fail to meet those goals, I must keep pushing. Failure, is not an option for me, but when I don’t succeed at doing something well, I try to learn from that fall. I get up, and I try another way to reach there. This is what I do every day, eat healthy, exercise, meditate, and explore making and using my Cannabis medicine for my 360 degrees of Wellness.

Today, I Approach my life with curiosity, flexibility, an open mind, most of all, with loving myself in all my imperfections. I’m still working on my physical and other challenges, placing greater value on my meditation time than ever before. I’m a work of art in progress, limited edition, one of one.

Weighed myself a few days ago, I am holding steady at 165lbs. and feeling extremely better than I did last year this time. 2022 I will focus on building upper body strength and tightening the flabs from weight loss, with love.

Feel free to sound off and share your thoughts on this journey with me. Would love to hear from you. Please drop your comments, and reach out in the contact section of my website. One love.
