Lifestyle Changes

So there's been a little bit of a drastic change in my life - I quite my job (... Well they were out to get me, besides I really hated that place), I changed my poor eating habits once and for all, and I started exercising.

I know I've been saying I will change and adopt better eating habits but lets face it, I was in a funk that I couldn't quite get out.  It's been a month since I quit my job.  I told my hubby that they fired me because I desperately didn't want/couldn't work for that horrid place anymore.  How could I explain high anxiety, high stress and depression to my hubby?  Let's just say I wasn't in the best of healthy conditions to work at that place anymore.  Now that doesn't mean I won't work... just not there.   My focus is elsewhere for now. I took me about a good 3 weeks of calming my body and mind.  To actually relax.  I'm one of those self-diagnosed kinda of people so I also self-medicate based on informed decision which are ONLY based on holistic remedies.  Which leads me to explaining last weeks crazy head cold that I got.

Every year, I get this freak sickness out of no where (because I'm generally an extremely healthy person), where I refuse any medical help unless I feel like I'm dying.  Well Alhamdulillah I wasn't dying nor feeling like I was! I had an itchy dry throat, congestion, headaches, ugly cough, runny & stuffy nose and a sore stomach.  Somewhere in there I believe to have had a fever too.  Well I'm better now ad that's all that counts.  Throughout that whole ordeal I was extremely happy that I didn't have to go to work and I could nurse myself back to health.  Alhamdulillah for resilience.  And of course I would of loved to have someone to make me soup... but I made myself oatmeal.

I still have phlegm in my throat but I'm sure that will leave in time.  I did however start back on my health kick with more vigour.  I've been having my 3 square meals a day and I've started exercising.  Isn't that exciting!?  Well I'm feeling more determined.  I just need to get a better sleeping pattern and not nap during the day.  Any pointers for avoid sheer boredom in this freezing cold weather? Oh ya that's another thing... I don't like going outside... it's -26C.  Like give me a break!

I'm really trying hard this time to actually stick to lifestyle change and adopt more holistic habits according to the Sunnah.

And what would a lifestyle change be without taking drastic measures to change.  I dyed my hair a different color!  I need change and I found it!  I know this post is talking about a lot of things and not really giving great details it's because I want to explain in future post too.  And if you have any questions feel free to comment down below.

Stay tuned!

Take Care & InshaAllah Khair
