Honestly same. I stopped trying to force the whole sanctuary vibe and just do five mins of stretching while my niece naps nearby. No chanting, no candles, just breathing. If I miss a day, I don't guilt trip myself. Sometimes spirituality is just showing up tired and dealing with it. Keep it simple sis, your soul gets it.

Honestly I think it’s both. My knees hurt all the time but my spirit feels heavy too. I just sit on the porch with my coffee and let God handle the worry. Y’all need to rest more. Not everything needs fixing today. Just breathe and take it one hour at a time. I’m trying to stop doing so much for everybody else.

nah not weird at all i work two jobs up here in the hills and by the time i get home i just want to sit on the porch and stare at the mountains. my husband gets it too we are basically roommates sometimes and thats fine. dont let anyone make you feel guilty for being tired. rest is important.

yeah i get it. after juggling my kids i just dont have the energy to hit the gym. so i just do some gentle stretches in my living room while watching tv. helps my back from holding them all day. dont feel guilty about skipping the intense stuff rn. resting is valid too. we survive by doing what we can. hope you get some peace tonight.

yeah its totally normal. i lift heavy twice a week out here and my quads are trash for two days straight. cant even climb the stairs to get up without groaning. just keep moving a little bit. drinking water helps too. if it burns too bad try some heat. don't expect to walk normal tomorrow though. just tough it out.

hola mi reina jaja honestly same. after my first 5k i felt like i was actually dying. la muerte was real. now i just walk super slow at the end and drink lots of water. dont push it too hard baby. your body is adjusting. take breaks, sit down if you need to. no hay prisa. we are not marathon runners yet. just keep showing up. love you

yesss i am literally dead after day five. im mixed so i always feel like im code switching all day at uic which drains my battery fast. then i come home and just stare at the wall for two hours before i can even think about cooking. its not the work load its just the mental load of existing in spaces that werent built for us. wanna sleep through saturday

i lift 3x a week and the soreness is basically nonexistent after the first month. my form was terrible at first so i hurt like hell but now i just feel pumped. if you are super sore every time, you are probably doing too much or eating enough protein. also, foam rolling helps more than people admit.

Honey, mine is dead too. My husband snores like a chainsaw so we just sleep. Honestly, I find more joy being alone with a glass of wine or reading a book. It's just life at this stage. Don't beat yourself up about it. We're grandmas now, not models. Enjoy the peace and quiet.

same here. just moved again so my endo is whatever. labs say im fine but i feel like crap. i just drink tonns of water and try to nap whenever the kids are down. its a mess. dont let the dr dismiss you if u still feel wrecked push back. i took coq10 last week and felt slightly less dead. good luck
