elisanns Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I haven't been on here since 2017 (according to my past activity, anyways), but am really looking to actually make some life improvements and stick to them this time. So far I've started doing yoga more regularly since the work from home life started and would really like to grow that in a meaningful way. I've also really enjoyed going on long walks every day during the summer, which made a surprising difference in my mental and physical health. Unfortunately, I've noticed stress (and stress eating...), work anxiety, and now the oncoming winter months are really starting to impact me again, and I'd love to be part of a community that can help me stay on track! And after Instagram reminded me of this place...well, I'm back again. 6 Quote ~~ My Fitness Pal ~~ NF character ~~ Link to comment

Rebel Pilot Gar Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Welcome back! It's amazing how something as "simple" as a walk can have a big affect on mindset and mental health. It's never too late to jump into the challenges -- or even just visit other threads and lurk until you feel comfortable engaging if you want to ease into it a bit. (I have personally also posted a new challenge in the 5th week so it really is never too late to join in the fun) Quote "Always remember, your focus determines your reality." - Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace "I Find That Answer Vague And Unconvincing." - K-2SO, Rogue One ”Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome.” [spoilers], The Book of Boba Fett Link to comment
