Report: What My Body Told Me This Week

Date: 9 July 2025
From: Director of Self Love
To: Myself
Subject: Resuming Rhythm After Celebration

It’s been a week of feasting, laughter, visitors, and joy.
It’s also been a week of heaviness – full plates, full days, full feelings.
And now, the contrast.

Today, I returned to stillness.
No guests. No restaurant menus. Just me, a pot of homemade chicken soup, and an urge to reset.

Was it difficult?
Yes.
Fasting while cooking. Cooking while craving. Craving while choosing not to cave.
But I did it – not because I needed to punish myself for enjoying life,
but because I wanted to remember what my body feels like when it’s not overwhelmed.

This is strength.
This is structure.
This is love that looks like chicken broth, deep breaths, and lifting weights on an empty stomach – not to prove anything, but to return to myself.

Not every act of self love feels soft.
Sometimes it feels like discipline.
Sometimes it’s just showing up for the version of me that wants peace more than another snack.

Director of Self Love
