Self Permission Slip

Dear Savvy,

You have permission to skip the gym tonight, and instead stay at your apartment to clean, eat left over take out, and catch up on your dvr. It's ok to stay home one night while you reflect and plan of attack.

Just do you,
Your Savvy Self
 
Thanks for reading that dear reader. I just had to read it 4 times until I let my guard down and stopped the internal conflict in my head. You would think by reading the note that I was some sort of gym rat, that was constantly working out. Haha! I can be so hard on myself, that I often feel the need to seek permission from family or friends to stay in and not be social. Why is this "just being" so hard for me to do?
 
Tonight is one of those nights that I need to trap myself in my barely 700 square foot apartment and re-evaluate how I want to conquer the rest of 2012. I need to "recharge" and really spend some time with myself... something I have been avoiding for weeks.
 
When I am trying to escape alone time, that is when I know I need it most. I always know when this time is needed, for me its evidenced in my mood and constant need for comfort food (carbs and nutella).
 
I'm going to listen to my heart. So let it begin, let the self reflection time commence.
 
I'm 100% sure there will be some blog follow up.
