Slow Girl Era...Phase two
So this is phase 2 of the Slow Girl Era.
So I started my morning at 6.15am scrolling aimlessly on instagram looking at runners depressingly, fully well knowing it will cause me to spiral, plus i'm actually making great progress, rehab/burnout wise..
Anyway the dramatic ADHD internal dialogue was right on cue , all while I felt a prompting to be reading my bible, but I continued to scroll and wondered why by 7.21am I was having a full on meltdown and questioning every area of my life and whether I even have a purpose.
The meltdown actually started because my dopamine matcha wasn't available, so naturally everything else fell apart.
Now I did say this was phase 2, so there have been some improvements, but I just wanted to share how much of an impact Jesus has on my life, as that was just one morning not spending time talking to him…. and clearly my life & me fell apart.
This just about sums me and Jesus up 🫠❤️
This Pic is actually taken from the series The Chosen, have you seen it? If you have what did you think? If you haven’t… it’s a must 🙌🏾
Now as a typical ADHDer I naturally thought, “I’m cured” after having a few days with zero meltdowns, but that was clearly from spending time with Jesus, but naturally I was like its ok Jesus I’ll take it from here… big mistake, but he’s so gracious he’s like “ok Alecia”… really I bet he’s thinking… “you’ll be back” and he was right, I was, because I actually can’t live without him it's almost like not having my right hand (i'm right handed by the way)
So when I did that I’m obsessed with Jesus reel, did you see it?
I MEANT IT.
Now onto actual Phase 2.
My mornings have been starting with Jesus & matcha, funny as fitness was first but now it’s Jesus rightly so, I'm fully aligned from the bottom up.
And one of the things I love about Jesus is he knows how overwhelmed I get, he’s not asking me to spend an hour, with a candle lit reading an entire book of the bible, he knows id be in tears, (overwhelmed) plus i’m a mum and don’t really get more than 10/20 mins peace in the mornings, he's just there saying give me what you have that’s all i’m asking for… absolute Gem x
Then it’s a workout.
I'm starting a new training cycle, as I'm now ready to start introducing strength training and light cardio again… Praise Jesus, my brain is very happy! - although I’ll have to reign it in from wanting to go FULL ON INTENSITY…. then back to square one in the first week 🫠
I’ll update on that on social media , so if you're not already, come follow me, i'd love to have you @aleciafitness
