Intense 365 Month 5: No (2x's a day)
No.
Nope.
Negative.
This month's blog post will be short, for many reasons that I will likely elaborate on later, but for now, all you need to know is that the answer is gonna be no, to a lot.
While you may read this and (rightfully) assume this is saying no to others to create boundaries, it is also a big fat NO to me too.
I have been too indulgent with myself.
No, I am not galavanting to fancy engagements and eating rich delicacies while partying too late, if only it were that simple(or glorious).
What I am doing is giving in to reasons to letting comfort food, comfort me while still finding time to meal prep, challenging (Month 4).
Thus I need to say no more.
Kinda sucks, but (real talk) I'm already a dash miserable, and the little bit of joy I'm squeezing out a quarter pounder with cheese isn't really worth it.
No to yourself= Discipline
No to others= Boundaries
So this month, I will sometimes vocally, sometimes silently say no 2x's a day.
Once (at least) to the world at large to prioritize my goals.
And once to put" baby in the corner" (baby being self-pity and the desire to eat ice cream for breakfast more than once a week).
This what I am doing this month, I encourage you to say no with me, but if you gotta NO for me to do you, then, by all means, I support the hell out of that too.
No one likes to hear no, but when expertly applied, it renders the best results.
Good luck.

I realized that I no longer needed the same amount of comfort I did in April of 2020.
