I'm sorry for your loss. This is very sad news. Take all the time you need to get back on your feet, grief is such a process. Sending love your way 💕

Claire Gianakas this is so true, you can't prioritize everything. I've been working to conserve my energy, I do only what is necessary now and no more than that! I think it's good to have a baseline that you can return back to, when you know you've gone astray. I have a lot of obsessive thoughts, and now I remind myself each time one comes along that it's just a thought and it doesn't mean anything. I've realised how these thoughts I've had was what made my hair fall out. When I think about it like that the brain is so powerful. I get what you mean about the hair loss. I didn't pay attention to how I looked at all and now I can't stop looking at my hair, wondering if it will ever fully grow back - I miss my blonde highlights! I hope the medication does its job. I'm hoping that doing nothing for many months, + going to Australia will help me out and be my medication, of course with RPS movement added in too! Sending love and good vibes and hair regrowth! Xx

Definitely a bad b favourite! Shaking, sways, spinal twists and hops is everything you need to start a day!

Thank you so much. I start the day with morning affirmations so tomorrow I will add a class. I'm so addicted to work, when I finish this chapter of my life I won't need to prove myself anymore, my focus will be giving myself what I need. No one can take this away from me - it's to prove to those who told me I was stupid as a child, that I'm not! My brain just works differently! Thanks for your support xx

Sounds like you are doing all the right things given you current state! I am also struggling a lot. When I am mentally overworked I also get so physically tired even if I haven't moved all day because I've been glued to my computer. I tried the Y2k beats after you did the other day and felt completely exhausted all the way through, and then felt sad about it! I haven't managed to do anything this week. My chest is tight and my back and neck are feeling all the old desk work wounds. My tinnitus is loud. My brain flip flops between obsessing about my recent hairloss, not having what I've always wanted it life and my final PhD exam. Only a week to go before I can move on from desk work and try to find my place on the map! I think I should start tomorrow morning with a class instead of waiting til I'm exhausted in the evening. Keep up the good energy! Just attaching this Munch drawing I saw at the gallery, I related to it Xx

After the quick 11 min Arms + Abs weights class I felt like I wanted to do more so chose this triptych class which really complimented the first one! It was a reminder that classical pilates is tough! But the ending was nice and soft!

So good. Felt a bit more shake-y but because it was short I think passes as a pulse! I love the short challenge, and there's always the option to just repeat it again if you want, too!

There are just sooo many to choose from! The ones grouped 'take from bed' or one that comes to mind is Biiig stretch! The best stretch ones for me are those that leave me a little light headed!
