My Happiness

As per usual, this post will likely have little to do with Crossfit or fashion... I must be a very confused blogger. One thing I will say is that my ass hurts...bad, from Karen (150 wall balls). It hurts sitting, and sleeping, and walking and...

OK, I'm done whining. 

I can honestly say, in this moment, that I'm the happiest I've been for as long as I can remember. And if you know me, I'm very in tune with my happiness/sadness/emotions in general. And now that I feel so good, I have to ask myself why; instead of just accepting it, I want to know what's behind it so I can keep it going. So what conclusions have I come to, what has been making me so happy? Let's see...

1. My family: I've never had a better relationship with my brothers and my dad and it's honestly time that I look forward to spending as often as possible. 

2. My friends: the few I have that are true friends, that know me better than anyone, remind me how important it is to put the time and effort into these relationships just as I would a boyfriend. I think sometimes we take advantage of these relationships without realizing how invaluable they are

3. Crossfit and my body's capabilities: I've always had a hard time balancing what I can handle and what I want to be able to handle. About a year ago, I pushed my body too far and ended up injuring myself and now I've finally learned how to keep improving, but while listening to my body. Pushing too hard can sometimes be a fault. Learning to balance is my newest strength.  

4. My career and living situation: the closest to perfect I could ever ask for. To wake up every day and not dread going to work is a blessing. 

5. FINALLY accepting me for who I am:: we are own biggest critics and I feel like I finally woke up one day and accepted and loved that I was weird, kind of crazy, and just me. If I don't love myself for my good, bad, and crazy, then how can anyone else. 

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta...

What fuels your happiness?
