October was a hot mess. Somehow for 31 days, I managed to run all over like a chicken with its head cut off. I was unfocused, uninterested, and definitely being unhealthy. When I wrote “A Better Me, A Better Me” I really thought that I could somehow magically restore my happiness and energy without making major changes in my lifestyle. However, now looking in hindsight, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
November is our penultimate month. It’s one of our last chances to redeem ourselves and recover from everything that happened earlier in the year. For me, it’s the month of restoration, peace, and tranquility. I am challenging myself to learn how to balance my life’s demands while putting myself first in every possible facet.
I deserve a full night’s sleep.
I deserve a healthy, well-balanced diet.
I deserve time to read and meditate.
I deserve quality alone time with myself.
I deserve to be in the best shape of my life.
I deserve to love myself and live my life wholeheartedly.
Look out, November. There’s a new Takira on the block and she ain’t playin' NO GAMES.
