A year ago, things really started to take a turn in my life. And when I say turn, I mean not for the better.
I literally felt like most days, I was just sleep walking. I was smiling a lot, sure. I would laugh and keep acting like everything was fine and normal and that there was nothing to worry about.
I kept my emotions and the reality at a distance. It felt much safer that way. At least, that was the lie I was telling myself.
A couple of months ago, I made some major decisions for myself and for my life. I don’t have a lot of answers, still have a lot of questions and fear and uncertainty, but I think everything will be alright.
One thing that has saved me has been fitness. It is not new to me. You all know I started working out 8 years ago in order to lose the baby weight and feel good in my skin again.
This time, I started pushing play because I was dying on the inside, and every workout I completed reminded me that I was still alive.
That Tiffany still exists and that she still has a purpose.
The muscles are coming back and I feel so much stronger physically. But inside, I feel like a brand new woman.
So ready to take on the next 100 days.
The kids are spending a weekend with their Gramie and Papa. A much needed girls night with the besties since 7th grade. A lot of laugh and real talk. Life can be so hard, you know?
But this morning, I read a quote about how we tend to write out problems out in stone and our blessings in sand....and I just don’t want it to be that way. Things are certainly not ideal, but I really don’t want to become a hardened, angry, hurt and bitter woman simply because I have been dealt a hard hand currently.
I think I, we, can do better than that.
Let write our blessings out where they can be seen and heard and felt and remembered. Let those blessings that we have received be louder than our troubles.
I will start: I am alive right now. I have two amazing kids. I have a job. I have an opportunity to do work that empowers. I have amazing family. I have real friendships that show up when it matters. I have food in the fridge and pantry. I have clothes on my body and a roof over my head. And a lot more blessings on top of that.
Shout them out. Your life is more than a list of all of your problems. Because we all have problems. But we have been given much as well.
Happy Sunday, peeps!
The one thing I really love about physical exercise is the way it ties into whatever is going on in your life. It helps to empower you. Helps to clear the mind. When you are stuck on an idea or need a creative moment, exercise comes through.
While going through this season, exercise has allowed me to work through all the anger, hurt, decision making, and even helped me feel better.
It also has given me not just the physical strength to do the daily functions of my job and motherhood, but it has given me mental and emotional strength. When I get through that really hard workout (hello PLYO Fix Extreme!) it also shows me that I can get through the dark seasons of my life. It just takes effort and a willingness to show up, even if others won’t.
You have to be willing to step into it, and work through it. It is okay to cry through it. It is okay to get angry. It is okay to hate going through it.
But on the other side of that is magic and gives birth to something you may have never thought possible.
Because growth is what I am going for, so I’ll sit and work through all of it to be a better version of myself.
