As exactly as I anticipated, September has been fast and furious. It has been full and challenging every step of the way.

If I’m being honest with myself, the whole month has been a bit overwhelming. And at first I was feeling a bit of defeat in my wellness journey throughout much of September.

But then I realized, I am actually doing much better, even during my stressed and frustrated moments, than I ever was before. Things and techniques that I have incorporated into my life have truly helped me stay afloat during extremely choppy waters.

The major lesson I will take away from September thus far is to just be honest with my emotional and energy levels. There is no badge in pushing through to prove a point while depleting all reserves at the same time. I am not superwoman and cannot do it all. It does me no good when in serving others I create severe need in my own life. No is such a powerful word that I must not be afraid to use. It will serve my wellness journey well.
