In my post about self care, one of the things I wrote about was how I’ve been exercising five times a week for the past few months. I was starting to feel like my transformation into “a person who exercises five times a week” was complete. Then, last week, it was over 100 degrees out and I decided to skip a day of exercising. The next day was a scheduled off day. The day after that, I found myself thinking “what if I take one more day off?”

Over the past year, I’ve been making an effort to improve my mental and physical wellbeing. This began with me starting therapy in July of 2025. I’ve found that the progress I’m making in therapy to better my mental wellbeing is also making it easier to take care of the rest of me.

Mental Health

I started therapy at the beginning of July last year and I’m seeing a lot of progress so far. Taylor recently told me it seemed like I’m in “AP Therapy” or that I’m “speedrunning therapy”. It felt nice for my progress to be perceived like that.
