And because I am shedding old constructs that have literally been unsafe for me and not healthy for me, it is work that I do daily, and I'm now, for the rest of my life, committed to it. And because now that I know better, I am convicted to do better. Okay? Now, on my journey, what I've noticed is a trend, and it could be because of certain things

This is something that I deal with, too, because you want those results and you know what has to go into it. But damn, it that second step of doing the thing, to accomplish the goal. Because it feels so good to get drunk and talk about how hard you're going to go in the gym tomorrow, and then you wake up hungover, and then you're, oh, why did I do this to myself? I'm not going to the gym now

And I was like, you know what? I'm going to buy the healthy food. I don't want to have the medication for high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, et cetera. I would rather just eat the healthy food and pay for that. And so that helped change my mindset

You? Great question. I've seen those hashtag, and I like to think of a tree. I believe it's an ongoing process where the person may have just come in, an awakening of realizing what they need to shed and let, of when they say, it's me season or my season. So when I think of a tree, a tree blooms in the spring, it flourishes in the summertime

So that is one factor that we need to factor in when we are referring it to being a season. But on long term basis I think it should be for lifetime. There is no expiration for self love or self care. Now this can be I think both ways. The physical part of it you need to keep your body I would not say on a general basis super fit, but definitely be on the side of safer side wherein you are investing more in your own healthy habits
And I think there's like a I don't know if it's a philosophical term or what. I know who introduced it to me. Arya, who was on Swell some time ago. Yeah. And I may have butchered that relaying of it, but I think that whatever that concept is, there's like this disconnect, this forest for the tree sort of situation of not only spirituality, but I think when it comes to things like self improvement, right?

Hey, thank you so much for responding to this topic. I like the comparison to a tree in terms of the it's me season. There's different cycles or seasons for a tree. The tree which is self, this is my interpretation of what you're saying. The tree which represents self stays the same. It's rooted and grounded ever. The tree self goes through different seasons. And I can dig that. I like that

I just have no energy to want to put effort into how I look and I want to put effort into how I look. And others started chime again. Yeah, here's a picture of me at the grocery store. I'm in sweats and my hair is pulled up in a messy bun. And here I am, no makeup and here I am in dark colors because I don't have any clothes that have light colors because I haven't been shopping. And people were chiming in. Chiming in

Just to conclude really quick, my phone rang and my speaker wouldn't come back. As I was giving them some tips, then they were able to shift towards getting an understanding of my perspective of, hey, we can either complain about it and say, I'm going to just let this happen to me, or we can be the change we want to see and say, no, this is how I'm going to happen to it

Right. That is exactly where I was coming from. Christina is careless is a perfect not I don't believe anyone that's using the hashtag is intentionally being I don't believe that they are intentionally being just let me speak recklessly or I'm intentionally making this post and using the phrase or using the hashtag from a space of being sloppy. I believe a lot of it not all not all people. I do believe there are some people like some of the people that have commented on this thread
