i never set out to get healthy. not in the gymfluencer way, i just didn’t want to feel like crap all the time, simple as that.
my brain was foggy, my skin was dull, my energy was extremely volatile, I had to do something about it.
it didn’t happen from a big shift. no meal plan. no bootcamp. i just started tracking, writing downw how certain things made me feel, and through process of elimination choosing the better ones.
one of the changes? filtering my water.
i got best water filter in the market, because my skin was acting weird and someone mentioned chlorine having a large impact. and over a few weeks, I began to note improvements.
Additionally, my food tasted better. showers didn’t smell like the local pool. it was small change, but a big difference
some stuff that changed without fanfare:
- i started going to bed earlier. like, before 10. wild
- filtered all the taps. not just the one in the kitchen
- said no more often. especially to stuff that drained me
it wasn’t about “being healthy”, it was about feeling more like myself again.
not advice. not a listicle. just a note from someone who didn’t expect to feel better, but did.
ps. if this is your first time here, maybe circle back to the post about silence. or the one where slowing down got weird. they connect.
