This is Me, Starting: A Wellness Journey.

1/20/2026

This is me, starting.

I’m on a wellness journey. Am I doing anything right now? No. Should I be? Well… yes.

I know this is the year to get it together. I need—no, want—to do better for my body. The funny thing is, I don’t actually mind exercise, so why don’t I do it more often?

It’s that lie we tell ourselves: I don’t have the time. Do I have the time? Probably. What I’m really saying is, this isn’t where I’m placing my priorities.

Yikes. That sounds awful when I say it out loud. I’m calling this a wellness journey because that’s exactly what it’s going to be—a journey. One filled with trying new things, shifting mindsets, building discipline, and undoing old triggers. I was raised to finish my plate. To eat what was prepared for me.

I love coffee with too much creamer. I love sugar. I don’t need to be thin. I need to feel good in my skin. I want the strength and energy to carry me through my day. My body deserves better than autopilot and excuses.

So here I go, stepping onto a winding road, chasing the feeling of health settling into my bones. There’s no one here to hold me accountable or tell me I’m wrong when I choose something comforting or indulgent. It’s just me outthinking myself.

Me breaking old patterns. Me unlearning habits. Me refusing to give up on the vision I have for my life.

If you’re on a journey that taps into your core identity—if you’re trying to choose yourself in quieter, braver ways—come along. Let’s laugh, cry, and celebrate together.

First stop: moving my body every day for 30 minutes. (Even as I type that, I wanted to say 20… yikes.)

This is me, starting. If this resonates, I’d love to hear where you are on your journey—no fixing, no pressure, just honesty.Join me. I see you.I’ll be me & You be you.
