\"aries\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. This<\/em><\/a>. When things just come to you and speak volumes, it’s\u00a0kismet.<\/p>\n

2. The sun! This weather! It makes me\u00a0so<\/em> happy. Really; it’s the little things, and when everything else feels grey and stagnant or hopeless, the sun is\u00a0everything\u00a0<\/em>to me. Girl just wants the D<\/a>! (You know, the vitamin.) It was 80-something degrees this past week and in all my excitement, I\u00a0finally\u00a0<\/em>had the courage to try on the iconic, if not infamous,\u00a0“Mazzy” one-piece<\/a>. You guys\u2014I feel as if I look like some cross between an exotic beetle and a lost member of the Avengers. So basically, a superbug. A sexy<\/em> superbug. (It is mostly a good thing.)<\/p>\n

3. Even with hope of summer soon, I’ve been stuck.<\/p>\n

It’d be easy to write off this ‘lull’ as just a phase and attribute it to a routine creative block brought on by some tidal pull of the moon or the Mercury in retrograde. Or, perhaps I should chalk it up to a “perfectly normal” post-graduation, 20-something crisis, but really it’s\u00a0me<\/em> that’s the source of this funk. (#YouKnowYouLiveInMuricaWhenYouBlameEverythingButYourself) Because until\u00a0I<\/em> break the chain, the cycle will forever remain as is, in status quo.<\/p>\n

And that’s the problem: complacency. If not for the sun and glorious weather, I’d feel even more inclined to sit at home (at my new desk<\/a>, though!) and do nothing. Well, not nothing\u00a0per se<\/em>, just nothing new. I’m barely sleeping. I’m exhausted after work. I have no desire\u2014nor motivation\u2014to move.\u00a0Use it or lose it<\/em>, I guess; I used to crave movement and now? I’m feeling lethargic, uninspired, inadequate.<\/p>\n

I need to get out of my own \u00a0head.<\/p>\n

Part of it has to do with a change in diet. From mostly plant-based and raw (not ’til four yet, just ’til 2 p.m. unfortunately) coupled with frequent, regular rehearsals or nights out dancing<\/a> for a cardio kick, I’ve regressed to eating whatever (pescatarian), whenever. I haven’t gained or lost weight, but the change in my body is apparent to me. I’m not getting the proper nutrients my body needs, and a winter of hibernation has me severely lacking Vitamin D. All these (poor) lifestyle habits are, without doubt, contributing to my\u00a0blah<\/em> mood but at the crux of it, I’ve been lazy because I’m too comfortable. Being in one place, having the same routine\u00a0sans<\/em> challenge or newness or excitement, surrounded by the same people\u2014it’s suffocating. I think I crave space but really, it’s change\u00a0that I desperately need. I’ve fallen into this pattern of settling. Things are stagnant.\u00a0I’m<\/em> stagnant. I’m just doing and being rather than growing and\u00a0living<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’m itching for change. It’s spring. I’m ready.<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Slightly related, but a little less heavy: let’s talk retail therapy for a moment. It’s no permanent fix, but trust:\u00a0it works…\u00a0<\/em>so long as you’re strategic about it. Feeling sad or stuck in a funk, however, is no excuse for being\u00a0reckless with my financials.<\/p>\n

Contrary to what my mother thinks, I don’t impulse buy\u00a0when I’m a retail therapy spree. Instead, I treat myself to things I’ve been wish-listing forever, things I need and<\/em> will make me feel good. Practical things (or as practical as things get for an aesthete because really, we don’t<\/em> need anything except food, shelter, clothing, love, movement) like basics I don’t yet have or need to replace; books; or lingerie. In fact, you can tell the state of my mind by the number of books. In fact, periods of sadness and\/or feeling stuck are marked by book and underwear hauls. Books, to help re-invigorate and get me out of said funk, and pretty lingerie for some much-needed\u00a0self-love<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. This week’s mantra, courtesy of Danielle LaPorte<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“Absolutely everything is progress<\/strong>. I have everything I need in this moment to move to the next moment.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
