Week 6 of My Wellness Journey
You made it back, great! Lets jump right in.
Harder Times
I have to be honest, this week was way more difficult than I expected. You know that feeling when your alarm goes off in the morning and you feel like the heaviest brick ever? Well that was me, every, single, day this week.
I really pushed myself and I still woke up every day at 7:30 but I got creative. I did slow restorative yoga, or flexibility yoga, nothing too crazy. I only fell asleep a few times (lol). Now, although it was difficult I really feel like my mindset has started to shift so I continued to push myself. I still worked out, wrote in my journal, and read my book.
Book of the Week
This week (literally in the week) I started and finished a new book. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*CK. It was such an eye-opener to many situations I’ve faced in my life. Now the title may make it sound like you shouldn’t care about anything but that’s not the case. It talks about how to choose the things that you should care about, and focus on what you can actually control. It gave me a view-point into a lot of different emotions I’ve felt, and realized that a lot of them were not actually my emotions but those around me.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who’s struggling with what to focus and care about in your life because it really can provide you with some direction.
Hebrew Speaking Madness
For those of you who know me, I’ve been trying to learn how to speak in hebrew for the past 3 and a half years, and to be honest it’s been a very difficult ride. I have always struggled to learn languages but I’ve finally gotten to the point where I really do know the language but I lack the confidence to jump in.
This week I spent a lot of time with Eyal’s friends (of course all Israelis) and sometimes it can be very overwhelming for me to be surrounded by people whose native language is not English. Not because they don’t know English, but because it’s way more comfortable for them in Hebrew and of course they should be able to speak their own language!
It is constantly pushing me to be better and I know that I can get there. I have given myself a real goal to learn hebrew, and by my wedding in July it’s going to happen!
