To start off with an update on my week, I haven’t stuck to any of my goals besides a couple of days eating Keto friendly here and there. This week was just hectic with my work schedule and having to go to Boston for a very important appointment. I think why my week didn’t go accordingly, was because I was yet again stressed. I kept telling myself if I did at least one hr of Yoga or any other form of exercise I would feel ultimately better. Unfortunately I just went for some carbs and Netflix; honestly that was the truth and I can’t deny it. I’m not disappointed in myself though, because just like every lifestyle change there is always room for tinkering with how to adjust to something new. I did manage to make one healthy Keto dish this week though.
For the most part of this journey, I have been able to do Yoga once a week and stick to the Keto diet; besides the one day a week I let myself cheat. I did, however, found an interesting video on YouTube that caught my attention for how to start one’s day in able to be successful. Hopefully I can incorporate some of these strategies in becoming less overwhelmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifGg5JykgQo.
In relation to the chapter 4 reading, I found a lot of topics that were fascinating to me. First of all, this whole chapter was basically about relationships and the different facets that are involved. I really found it interesting that there are so many types of intimate relationships that exist, especially the Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of love. When looking at it at first, it was very confusing. When reading more into it though, I saw that there are all sorts of relationships involving intimacy, passion, and commitment.
I also realized that intimacy doesn’t just mean a sexual type of relationship, but it also means one that is interdependent and how two people fulfill the emotional attachments that are involved in something as a friendship or family relations.
For this chapter to relate to me, I would have to admit by reading the criteria about unhealthy relationships I have had a couple. I tend to put my needs before other’s and it’s never reciprocated. I think I just need to have more of a self-nurturance towards myself, so in the future I’ll have more rewarding relationships.
Well I think I rambled on enough! Let’s hope I can be more aggressive with not letting stress in the way of me succeeding next week!
