I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out yesterday and as much as I still want to get back into the gear of my active lifestyle, I really have to learn to embrace rest. It sucks that we’re moving as well so everyone is on their toes. But I know that I have to rest MORE in order to SPEED UP my recovery. It’s all about embracing some down time to take care of yourself and know that it IS productive!

Last weekend I was completely emotionally spent after having our neighbors over late one night, a full day of activities with a LARGE group of friends (and not treating my body the best food-wise), followed by a night out at a club (waaay past my bedtime haha) and hosting a friend overnight and into the next text day. Needless to say, the Sunday scaries were hitting me hard. So when my roommates wanted to meet up for drinks with our friend who had just gotten back in town, I knew I had to pass to give myself alone time to recharge for the week. I felt especially guilty about it because it’s a friendship I particularly want to grow, as she’s very similarly wellness-minded like me. But then I realized that because of that, she’d understand better than anyone and there will always be other chances to get together.
It’s so reassuring to hear other people go through the same dilemmas about taking care of ourselves!
