Woke up feeling great this morning.

It was like a heavyweight was lifted from me. Not having negative energy around and acknowledging that I was becoming increasingly mean and resentful in this immigration process, humbled me. I hated the person I was turning into. I was becoming a bully, even if passively, I was equally guilty and I am deeply ashamed of it. After apologizing to the people I hurt, it was time to look at my life and my choices. 

Being cut from it was the best thing that could have happened right now. Like shock therapy, it made me realize how great my life actually is, despite feeling stuck. It was time to end the pity party I was throwing for myself. 

I have a loving husband that is literally the best human I know, a great and supportive family,  amazing friends, an artistic and fulfilling job that I love and pays really well, I have my nonprofit that gives me the ability to help others, and I have my health, to name a few.

On that note, this week I've been working on also improving some of my not so healthy habits. I'm cutting bad carbs, processed sugars, and unhealthy fats as much as I can and increasing my vegetable and fruit intake. I'm doing some yoga and pilates, I'm trying to go to bed earlier, drink more water. and it's already paying off. 

I am so grateful for so many things, the good but especially the bad, because the hard and awful things that happen to you shape the person you become, it gives you an opportunity to try to become a better person. I know I have a long way to go, but improving is something you should never stop trying to achieve, especially when you realize how much you still have to learn. 

I recommend you try these 3 things this week: 

* Cut bad energy from your life, care only about those who matter.  

* Try to eat healthier not to lose or gain weight only, but to feel better. 

*  Be grateful for the good things (and the bad) in your life right now. 

I hope everyone has an amazing day!
