I started it right after the Stay True To You challenge. It has been quite a colorful journey.

During the first board, I traveled back home for the holidays and spent time with family and friends. A lot of activities, and happy times, but also a lot of rest due to catching a cold.

During the second board, I realized how much I started to enjoy this project I am working on, I loved having a routine - it brought me comfort and some ease.

While completing the third board I went through some sudden and shocking changes when I realized the future shootings of our show are going to be pushed by months, so I basically became temporarily unemployed on such short notice. My anxiety level was sky-high. Thankfully, I managed to land on another show for a couple of weeks, so I could find some peace by now.

The reason I am sharing this is to remind you all that moving our bodies can help us get through joyful, happy times because it really keeps us grounded and helps to process all the other activities. Movement is awesome when you have a chill period, and it feels like everything is in its place because it spices things up a bit. And movement is really useful when you feel like everything is out of your control and you doubt yourself and fear the future. Movement is a healer when you have a lot of energy and it is a healer when you have to drag yourself to the mat. Either way, it is so worth it, and I am so proud of my consistency!
