Breakups aren't fun but after a relationship ends I find one the initial processing is done life is very refreshing in a way. It is a natural time to reconnect with yourself and discover what hobbies or activities you find joy in again.

As the owner of a lab, he's notorious for eating anything within reach, this is such a helpful post

Absolutely! Nothing leaves a worst feeling in my stomach than watching someone celebrate over someone what’s crying in the mats. Especially at the bigger tournaments, everyone works hard to be here and I’m always so thankful for my wins, no show boating

Agreed, we could all be a little better a balancing things and taking care of ourselves <3

The winding down part is often my favourite. I like two use he time to reflect on the positives of the day :)

Self care is so important to avoiding burnout when life gets busy! :)

It is a great tool for estimating macros to reach goals! Can be a slippery slope though if one becomes too obsessed with their eating habits :)

My Biggest worry about AI is art. I do no feel society places the value on real artistic talent that its should. I can easily see many companies switching over the the cheaper and faster AI renderings as opposed to sourcing a good artist who spend hours/days/months on their work.

I still can't believe how many people view animals as presents/toys/possessions instead of companions and responsibilities. You're making a comment o their lifetime not your one day. A big issue is bunnies around easter too :(

Whenever I am super stressed, sad, or angry I take a walk outside. Sometimes short, sometimes long. I is such a great reset tool.

When you said the "time will not find you, you must make time" it reminded me of something I heard years ago. "When you don't make time, time will make you." Although it is the opposite of what you said the meaning is the same. Take care of yourself before your body shuts down and you're forced to.

I loved what you said about self care not being selfish. In a fast paced society it is easy to feel guilty about taking time for yourself.

He has such a positive atmosphere to him you really would never know he struggled with all that. Definitely important to remember two check in with everyone, even your happiest of friends!

This film really was an interesting one! Never really knew how far Barry would go. Important message that people are much more than our first impressions of them, good or bad.

No screen can replace the importance of human connection especially in development. The generation of "iPad kids" scans me for the future and I think I would be happy with a tech. free household.

Thank you, just removed to listen to what you body and brain are telling you they need! Burnout is a real threat so take care ❤️

Thank you! I feel like diet culture has had such a negative impact on how people view food, it is really there to help us function not hold us back.

Absolutely, talent can only take you so far!

Such a powerful lesson! I also used to be big advice giver and “fixer”. But I’ve realized a lot of the time people aren’t talking about their issues so you fix them for them. They just need someone to hear them.

Ticks give me the heebie jeebies! Great advice for all dog or pet owners!

First, your blog looks amazing! Second, once again so many carry overs from your post to my personal experience wrestling. Our best athletes are the ones who plan ahead, can change the plan in a fraction of a second, and who can tough it out on the mat. Love your break downs of it all

Also since this is an account dedicated to wrestling I would just like to let everyone know Algoma has 6/8 varsity wrestlers qualified and going to compete at nationals this year. The las two still may get pulled into competition.
