How to thrive not survive

Day 17 Luteal Phase

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another update! Let's jump right in for our stats of the day (appetite, mood, and motivation). Today was pretty decent. I started off the day by powering off my phone(a new habit I failed to mention in my previous blog). I won't get too much into in this post (it's part of a new project I'm working on...). BUT I will say even in the few days that I have been offline it has made a pretty drastic difference in my day to day. I have been much more creative, been picking up more activities I've dropped, and just been more aware and mindful of my surroundings. Anyways! I actually experienced a shift in my appetite today. Usually after supper I find myself satisfied with whatever I ate during that time, but today only a few hours later I was craving the leftover food from earlier. Though even after eating that I was still hungry. I then ate some sweet potato to satisfy myself as I assumed it could've been the lack of fiber I consumed today(possibly a few other snacks as well). Although it could've had something to do with me entering a new phase of my cycle, it would just be surprising because it's quite early on. In terms of my mood it was alright, I felt calm, mellow and my mind was clear. As for my motivation, I felt a bit creative but I was a bit busy today so I did not have much time to work on some of my projects but I was able to do some cooking. That's all for today everyone. Based on my slight decline in mood today I'd say it is likely I did ovulate yesterday. Have a wonderful day!
