[intentional_life]

I keep reading these quotes about how six months to one year of working on yourself and changing things about yourself can go a really long way and can change the trajectory of your entire life. wow. Imagine. This is my recap of day 5 of that year.

Day # 5 - 10/08/2021 (in progress)

ROUTINE
Wake up time: 5:50AM
Leave the house time: 7:30am MADE IT TO WORK perfectly ON TIME!! this was the most on time i have been in so long. I am so proud of myself for making this happen. And i even left the house with my hair being tended to a little bit.
My outfit today is in a jewel toned color really complimenting my skin and hair and i look nice for going out with coworkers today.

I am quite exhausted today though. Seriously, a little bit too exhausted. my only other goal for today is to take my make up off and floss after hanging out with coworkers.

During my lunch hour, I went to the chiropractor who did a Psoas acupressure on me that hurt so much but really did help.
