In’s and Out’s for 2024
Woohooooo! Welcome to 2024! I have a good feeling about this year!
If you’re anything like me, 2023 was such a tough year. While it had a lot of good moments it also came with some hard truths, difficult decisions, and some big moves. I started the year out with moving to Colorado (my girlfriend and I’s dream spot) only to face so much hardship once getting there. Moving from NYC to Colorado was a big change and the biggest of them all was the silence. We went from a hustling and bustling city to quiet mountains. While this change was amazing, it also allowed me to see just how bad my health had gotten.
For those here who don’t know, I have been battling hashimotos (autoimmune disease attacking my thyroid) for the past few years and 2023 was the year it got very bad for me. I think it was easier to ignore in NYC but being in Colorado with a slower pace of life I began to be a lot more affected by it. I realized how much I struggled with the day to day. I was exhausted all the time, my cycle was all out of whack, I gained about 30 lbs of inflammation and fluid retention, and I was anxious and irritated all the time. I just didn’t feel like me at all. I kept hoping it would get better on it’s own (silly me) but deep down I knew I needed to prioritize healing so that I could show up in life the way I was meant to. Everything was getting half of me.
SO, I made a big decision to move home to NC to be around the love and support of my family as I figured out a game plan to get better. I have been home now almost two months and I have already felt a big difference. I am on a natural thyroid healing regimen (supplements and diet) and it has helped me regain my energy and help reduce inflammation, which is a huge win. I have been able to prioritize my mental health and focus on the wellness practices that make me feel better.
As we move into 2024 I wanted to share with you my in’s and out’s for the year. My physical health has been a barrier for me for awhile now and I am ready for it not to be this year!
