Let July be July, and let August be August
This poem was one of the things I had pinned this year to my vision board. I didn’t know it at the time, but this year was going to be filled with a lot of change and uncertainty. To be honest, I probably haven’t been letting myself just be in the face of all of this change. I have been stressed, anxious and nervous about what might happen in the future.
Finding peace in the wild of changing things is easier said than done. After moving apartments, I’ve noticed how hard it is to get back into a routine. There are so many little things like the gym I loved is no longer near me, there are new grocery stores, a new commute to work, and so many more.
I’m remembering that it took me time to get into the routines that I had so carefully crafted over the past few years. Change takes time. In the next few months, I’m tackling getting back into a workout routine that I enjoy. I signed up for a race at the beginning of December, giving me some time to build stamina to go on longer runs. Working out is so important to me and it really makes me feel better.
I’d say I probably didn’t let July be July or let August be August, but I want to let September be September. There is simply too much that is not in my control and worrying about those things is not worth my time.
