What a difference a change makes to my mental health

I have been here in Sydney since September now and wow has time gone by quickly.  

I have been doing a lot of destressing and letting go of all that happened on the Sunny Coast. It wasn’t that it was that horrific. It was that it didn’t turn out like I was expecting. My intuition had been telling me for years to move there and then when I did the housing situation didn’t turn out very well at all and I was only living at the ocean for a short time.

The last place I lived in was a long way from the ocean and it was a concrete suburb, with very small blocks, which made it very hard for me to be inspired to go for walks because it was all concrete. It meant that I put on some weight which didn’t feel very good. 

 Living where I do the energy is so much better so I was able to let go of so much stuff not just from the Sunshine Coast it was even further back than that. 

You can see the difference in my face of how much lighter I look with all the letting go and that was three months ago now. You can imagine what I look like now in regards to the lightness.

I have done a lot of letting go in the past and yet when you are in a place that feels safe as well the energy is of a higher vibration it is so much easier to let go. 

Unfortunately a few weeks ago I came down with a real nasty cold and spent a couple of days in bed. The cough is still hanging around although I have heaps more energy.

I have gotten out a lot more since moving here which is also really good for my mental health. When I was on the sunny coast I really isolated myself because I didn’t feel that the energy there was great for me and of course that didn’t help my mental health at all. 

This is a pattern that I can fall into when things are not going the way that I want to. It is a pattern that I recognise now thankfully and because I am living in a much better place when I need time to myself I do that instead of isolating myself. 

Even though I am living in a suburb there is so much greenery that walking is very easy. I have released quite a bit of weight which feels so good as I wasn’t feeling the best about putting on weight. I have exercised most of my life and that went by the wayside when I moved to the sunny coast.

This was me one day where my friend took me and a couple of friends to south Sydney for a walk, whale watching and time at the beach. I was so grateful as it had been the first time I had been to the beach since I had moved to Sydney. 

I knew that when we got to the area that we would see whales and we saw about 5. My inner child loved it so much and as you can see by the photo I was so happy. 

It has been a long time since I shared a house with someone and not just rented a room. It took me a while to settle into that and now it is so nice to have someone to chat to and cook food with. I did find it hard in the past to cook just for myself. Now I am eating heaps better and even having a lot more water as a friend has a Kangen Water Filter which really does change the water the water tastes. It makes it so much easier to drink water when it tastes good.

I use a program called Pikmin which helps me with walking as you receive prizes for walking, planting flowers, harvesting mushrooms, and growing Pikmin. If you decide that you want to play along you can use my invite code KYCWIOLYM. Yes it does mean that I will receive presents in the game. It is so much fun though, who wouldn’t want to play. You can see below some of the screenshots I have taken.

I have continued to work on business and I have needed so much patience as I haven’t had a lot of energy to work on it. It has taken a lot of patience as a few things have gone wrong especially with my website. I couldn’t keep the old domain as it was too expensive and so trying to change everything over was certainly a challenge. it took me about a week to sort it all out and as you can see I did. It is so good to have everything back so I can write blogs and these jottings.

Well it is time to finish this one. 

Next time I will be writing about Christmas which will be an interesting one.

Till next time.

Darleen.
