I am Leaning In

I decided that I needed a personal day today, so I took the day off work. I had a rough night last night and I thought it would be best for me emotionally and mentally to have some time to myself to read, rest and think about everything. It could have gone two ways. It could have either been super helpful or I could have had a complete anxiety attack and freaked out the whole day. Surprisingly it was the first of the two. I really got to relax and wrap my mind around a few things. Today was also the first day of my 21 day cleanse. So far, so good! It feels amazing to actually have fruit, veggies and lots of water in me instead of wine, cheese, chips and sweets. Each day, the book the cleanse comes from has a meditation to connect your mind and soul to the positive changes you are making for your body. "I am leaning in" comes from today's meditation. It is about moving in the right direction for a cleaner more vibrant way of living! Improving my health, restoring emotional connectedness and being more comfortable and confident about my overall sense of place in the universe. I really hope that these promises become reality, because I could really use this in my life right now.
