New phase of life

I think I already mentioned before that life is changing. Not only for me by the way, but that is another story! Anyway, I had already noticed that my guide Eagle was more at a distance and then one day, he was gone! I still felt him, but he wasn’t around, so to speak. When I called him, he did answer though. He was far in the distance, beyond the point that I could see. When I asked him where he was and why, he answered that he was preparing things for the moment I would arrive there. Strangely enough I just knew that my best friend was there too. And if I would ever need them, they would come (which has happened by the way, as I previously told you about too). Though I was a bit sad, it did feel ok.

So, I was all by myself at this point. Looking back I could see the last part of my journey until then: a cornfield, with high stalks and I remembered the long road I have walked: over mountains, through rivers, the dark places where I’ve been, the beautiful green fields, the forest path in the shade of trees - the guides that have accompanied me, many, always loving, few words needed, walking, flying, sitting in silence. And then I became aware of this seagull by my side. She was there since a little while, I had seen her but given little thought. To be frank, seagulls always frightened me a bit. I feel they are a bit dismissive, have penetrating eyes and a sharp beak. But now it dawned on me that she was there on purpose, for me. I asked her if she was my new guide: Yes, she was. And she smiled. Such a sweet smile! And when I looked into her eyes, so soft and gentle! I needed to process this: Why her? Could I bond with her like I do with Eagle and many others? 

I looked up what the meaning of seagulls is: Freedom! It really hit me - flying and freedom. The two things that make me so happy, just thinking of it makes me feel it. Also what bonds me with Eagle. But what is the difference then, I wondered? And while Eagle is male, Seagull is female. What does it mean? I’m still processing it, but in the meantime she has (literally) taken me under her wings. 

Many things are becoming clear now, and I know much more is to come. I have started on a different part of my life path. I feel confident, in myself, my life purpose, my life path, Seagull.

I know energy and I know it well. I am grateful for the new season of radical acceptance that I am flowing into 🍯🌀💎🌺♥️ #ShaaniCreates #EmpoweringLives #HealingThroughVisions #EhiAmari #BlackWomanShaman #bigvirgoenergy #newbeginnings #newseason #newphase #truthsayer #timeweaver #purging #releasing #clearing #hermit #guide #joy #divinelove #sahar #love (at ShaaniCreates) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiptyJguCVg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

COVID-19 Ain’t Holding Me Back: Lean Bulking Phase Begins

As you can imagine the last few weeks have been pretty all over the place for everyone, myself included. I haven’t been in the right headspace to write anything and have just been worried about everything. 

 In a quick little catch up for you all I cruised through February and the first week of March with no issues and as of 9th March 2020 officially began my lean bulking phase of my health and fitness program. I would check in monthly with my coach and I would be using MyFitnessPal to monitor my calories and macros. I was on 2000 calories, 140g protein, 50g fat and I wouldn’t have to worry about monitoring my carb intake. Of course this was the plan … all before the shutdown of gyms.

***

 Truthfully COVID-19 has been affecting me since mid-February as I work in the events industry. I have been dealing with clients cancelling events since then but at that stage it was more precautionary than anything. For me the third week of March was when everything changed, not only did all my events cancel that week but everyone was hearing whispers of non-essential services being shut down … this meant gyms. The shutdown we thought was going to happen later in the week so my PT rescheduled my sessions to Monday and Tuesday so at least I’d have two good sessions in that week. But coming home late Sunday night and not having seen the news, I was confronted with the fact that gyms would close pretty much (12pm the very next day). Of course I was freaking out and irritated; I was only two weeks into the bulking phase (of course I know that the closure was in the interest of the health and safety of the entire country). But the phase I had spent the last year working towards was now in jeopardy.

 The week of the shutdown I got one good session in and modified the rest of my program to do from home. The day the gyms shut was the same day I began working from home. Whilst I was still working out at home, of course it wasn’t the same as being in the gym and there’s no way I was achieving the same results. During this week I should have dropped my calories to my maintenance level (1800) but I didn’t and as I result at my first monthly weigh in I put on half an inch around my waist. To stop me stressing over this and make sure that I was keeping on track, Kris asked if I instead wanted to go back to checking in weekly instead of monthly so he could more closely monitor my progress and I could have peace of mind that I was staying on track.

 As for training, I am now doing 1 on 1 training sessions as per government restrictions and so far the progress I have seen has been great. My strength has been increasing the last 2 weeks which I’m happy about – it means that I’m gaining the muscle I should be. The makeshift sessions I’ve been doing at home have been going well too but now Kris has finalised my “At Home” Program and I’m excited to begin that phase and see how it affects my muscle growth.

 I’m now nearly 2 months into the bulking out of a possible 6 – 8 months. I’m feeling confident in my progress so far and I’m looking forward to the next few weeks of this phase and what changes I will see. 

New phase

I have decided to retake my tumblr and make it my own once again. I have changed a lot in the past couple of years and found myself in a stage where I don’t completely relate to what my tumblr used to be. So be warned, it might get a little different in here. Let’s hope it’s worth it.
