Tis Me Michelle

Hi loves! If you are reading this, thank you so much! For those who are subscribed, you may have noticed a few empty posts lately. So really, thanks for sticking around. I had planned ahead, way ahead of time, and then other areas of life picked up and I dropped the ball here. I hope to get back to it soon. In the meantime, here’s my latest YouTube video of my Q1 review + some recent updates.

Oh how quickly things can change. If you sat through my cringe video, I mentioned work was where I was ‘thriving’ the most. And that’s not exactly true in the current moment. If you’ve seen my previous videos you’ll know work over the years has been a huge source of my stress and anxiety.

I have been doing very well with detaching to a certain extent since I joined this latest job. There’s been a bit of a shift in the last couple of months. I’m not totally sure why. It’s a combo of things I suppose. Even when I detach, I still care about the work I’m doing, how I’m doing and I always feel like I should be doing more. That may be a people-pleaser problem. More than anything when I see other people struggling and things are not being addressed, that really gets to me. So things have been a bit busier and hectic than it was. There are still some things brewing that I think will be good. I just need to learn how to not rile myself up over things that are out of my control and stick to my detachment mentality.

On the other side with my health, I’m back on a better routine. The medication I mentioned I was prescribed, I stopped taking. It actually made me feel worse overall, so I made the executive decision to stop. I’ve been feeling better since and now I’m just being more conscious of my meals and eating more intuitively, in the sense of not overeating and trying not to eat foods that really don’t work well for me. Then I signed up for a weekly workout class, and by weekly, I mean once a week. I’m not overdoing it and driving myself to give up. So better there, gotta keep up with it now!

My other two areas were finances and relationships. Both of those are relatively in the same spot. Nothing of note to report there. If you like this type of content please let me know here or on my YouTube page!

How is 2024 going for you so far?!
