Hey everyone,

I have been a bit quiet on here as I have been in my head these last few days. I’m finding it hard to get out of my head and that’s when I know it becomes a bit of a slippery slope.

I have actually had a really nice few days with my family and friends and it has really filled my cup. However, there have been a few things on my mind that I just can’t shake off. And that’s the thing with me, I let things on my mind consume me. I need to make a conscious effort to get out of my head. I was really proud of myself these last few days as I actually went out for a morning run after ages.

Daily movement is really important and I forgot how much I love running. It really cleared the cobwebs in my head and reminded me how much I need fitness in my life. My routine has been all over the place these last few weeks that it has been really difficult for me to fit in a schedule, with all the chaos. However, I am determined to be more self conscious about myself and my priorities, starting from now.

I know what I need to do within myself. I know what I need and I know who I am. However, I tend to forget that all the answers are within me and not externally.

I think that is the biggest thing I miss about my father being alive. He had this unshakeable belief in me that made me feel so sure about myself. Now that he’s gone, that feeling of security within myself is also becoming a distant memory. But, I have to remind myself everyday that I am my father’s daughter and he is within me.

I am built with his love and I will never forget him or myself.

I hope everyone is having a good festive period, or having a good day back at work!

With love,

Amina xo
