Week 5 of my Wellness Journey

It’s a routine!

Week #5!! I was so excited for this week, I finally felt like my routine was sticking and I was doing really well. However my body had a different plan for me. I got the 2nd COVID vaccine Saturday evening, and Sunday & Monday were 2 very unfortunate days, I spent all of Sunday on the couch with Eyal staring at the ceiling. When you have a headache, body aches, and feel very weak there’s not really much you can do.

New Purchases

Now as difficult as those 2 days were as I came back to life on Tuesday and I decided it was time to buy a new yoga mat. I had been seeing one advertised on Instagram and when I learned I could pick it up 10 minutes away from me it was an easy yes. I found a small local company called “Opal and Tourmaline”. She only sells 4 yoga mats, but each of them are incredibly gorgeous and have a meaning to it. I have also been really passionate about supporting locals and it was an easy decision at that point.

Naturally, I chose the mat called Sapphire. This is a mat with blues and whites, and blue is my favorite color. It was an easy-ish decision. I contacted this company and it had the most amazing support and I had bought the yoga mat and picked it up within 12 hours! Now it was a blessing not only to get the yoga mat but to go for a walk in the morning and see this gorgeous view.

The new Creative side

Now Wednesday, I finally felt like I was fully back to normal. As I got into bed Wednesday night reading my book (yes i read morning and night — I highly recommend it) I had one of those ah-hah moments that I needed to start creating something important to me. This is when I first came up with the idea to start this blog and also I have something else in the works you’ll just need to wait and see :)

This week was the first realization into the changes that were happening to me and how excited I was to continue my routine realizing how easy it was to implement.
