I wasn’t happy then

2025/4/25 Edited to

... Read moreThe struggle for happiness is often intertwined with our perceptions of body image and well-being. Many individuals experience periods of dissatisfaction and stress, especially in the context of motherhood and societal expectations about appearance. Engaging in body transformation can lead to both physical and emotional changes that may affect happiness levels. Body dysphoria, the distress that accompanies a perceived mismatch between one's body and self-image, is common in this journey. Techniques for stress relief can help in managing negative feelings and fostering a more positive outlook. Participating in supportive communities, like those found through social media platforms, can also aid in the process by providing shared experiences and encouragement. Exploring various coping mechanisms can contribute to a healthier mindset over time. Happiness often comes from within and recognizes small victories in every aspect of life, including body positivity and self-acceptance.

I just wasn’t getting it
I have a morning routine list wrote down in my notebook. I figured this would help me to stay on track with things. However, as a mom of 3 that does not always happen. One of the things on my list is “read bible”. I’m just going to be honest here; I was always looking at reading my bible as a chore

I Burned Out My Dopamine, Then Realized Why
Dopamine fatigue is real. And I didn’t even realize it was happening to me. I used to wake up, scroll while brushing my teeth, check emails in bed, “take breaks” on Pinterest, and end my night with 20 tabs open — all while wondering why I felt so unmotivated and overstimulated at the same time.
