magic on sunday: bounce back

i found myself crying on sunday night at dinner because i didn’t have time to get my nails done. then i was crying about the fact that it wasn’t really about getting my nails done. i was tired and out of sorts. not even in a bad way, but in a “my life has been going in six billion different directions and i’m out of routine” kind of way. i couldn’t even find an hour to resurrect my chipping nails with a fresh coat of polish.

i used to hate that i was a routine-reliant individual, but as i’ve gotten older i’ve embraced it. it’s not that i can’t or don’t like being spontaneous or going with the flow - i do and i can. but when life gets busy, i’ve learned that i need to anchor myself in the things that are important to me (working out, this newsletter, and getting my nails done - it’s self care!). and i can’t wait until the time is right or when things finally slow down. i have to force myself to wrestle with the swirl to fight for my time. i have to just jump back in, feet first.

so, i’m doing that this week. one that is expected to be particularly hectic, i’m digging my feet in and holding on to the things that make chaos feel calm.
