October's Heart🎃

It is October now!
Time flies, doesn't it...

At the beginning of the month, I like to think about how I want to spend the next month,
and get a gentle sense of what the theme for the month will be😊

September was a month of resetting.
I spent it imagining a return to basics and a restart.

My eyelashes are growing well and look great✨
I had an accident with a concussion, but
it made me more conscious of taking care of my body!

It felt like preparing for a reset, didn't it😊

Thanks to that, even though I've been refraining from exercise, my body gets tired less easily,
and I can feel my condition improving!

Time is limited, but
without being greedy and trying to do everything,
staying true to the core of what makes me feel comfortable,
choosing what is important to me,
I am living my days.

That is a very luxurious way to spend time.
I feel every day that it is what gives me peace of mind.

Spending time slowly
adjusting my mind and body slowly

looking inside my own body
making the choices I need for myself

Changing slowly
Changing things slowly

Enjoying those kinds of changes

Without pushing myself too hard
feeling my condition improve

Preferring to watch and enjoy my own changes

Physical changes
Emotional changes

Different from day to day,
even over the course of the months,
they are changing again.

How I am feeling right now,
and how I am changing.

Self-awareness

Last month, I felt the changes in my physical condition very clearly!

The effects on my body (difficulty warming up, tendency to gain weight) from an environment where I refrained from exercise and my metabolism didn't increase,
and perhaps because I hit my head, my back muscles were strongly contracted,

making my shoulders, back, and chest area very stiff.
(So stiff that I couldn't do things I had been able to do before)

Since the shoulder blades and pelvis are linked, their movement was poor,
and I also felt the distortion in my posture and how the fat was accumulating.

My body is stiff (lol)

Just by loosening up my body (pelvis and chest area)
and working to increase my metabolism,
both my energy and physical strength started to improve.

The feeling of things that were stagnant
starting to flow out

Circulation is
about keeping things moving,
about making things function, I realized.

I nodded in agreement about the importance of making things function again,
and then deriving from that, expanding it, and enjoying it once more.

In October as well, I will continue to
cherish my own axis,
and keep looking at myself!

A season with many events,
I will take care of my physical condition
and spend this month comfortably as well♪

A month to stabilize the condition that has improved.
