for the mind

Publié par Gaelle.R

I am not afraid to admit some of my workout sessions are extreme! especially my leg days to the point that now they are no longer fun. My legs have developed a lot, I am seeing muscles in places where I didn't even know existed.  There's no need for me to train my legs for 2 hours but I do it, some movements are less challenging and others are very challenging let me explain...

in total you only need 45-60 minutes to train legs but because I am a psycho who loves to torture myself at times I do it for 2 hours! I normally train like that on Saturday mornings. It's brutal I lift heavy, I sweat a lot, I lose my breath, and I feel exhausted by the end of it. I don't workout like that more than once a week because it is not sustainable and I would suffer from muscle fatigue. Now that I started taking creatine I have even more stamina to keep going harder in the gym.  When I work out like a maniac I don't do it for muscle growth I do it for my mental health. I need a hard session at least twice a week... I also go hard on Thursday for my back days too. I need a great session to feel good and to want to keep on living a happy life. I am not even sure whether or not my anti depressant medication is working anymore but all I know is the gym is keeping me alive and I need it desperately. I could be crying in the gym parking lot and after a workout I am laughing like an idiot...I all I need is 2 hours in the gym, just give me that and I am the happiest girl in the world. Why Do you think I work out 6 days a week? I don't need to workout this much! I do it for my mental health as well as a nice body. 

I am happy with my results and we're only getting better and better :)

If you want to increase deep sleep

Quick wins:

  • Keep a consistent bedtime

  • Avoid alcohol close to bed (huge deep-sleep killer)

  • Sleep in a cool, dark room

  • Get daytime exercise, but not intense workouts right before bed

  • Reduce late-night screens / stress spikes

If I die untimely,  I want a friend like Candace Owens to investigate my death and find out what happened just like she’s doing now for Charlie Kirk. Her dedication shows how much she loved and cared about Charlie. His own wife has already moved on and worrying more about making an empire instead of trying to find who exactly wanted to assassinate her husband. Candace is not letting these people get away with it, she’s keeping Charlie’s name alive and she’s investigating daily. I love her.

reasons why I am deleting all forms of social media on my phone (Pinterest not included of course). I currently do not have Facebook or messenger on my phone, I deleted my Facebook in 2019 and I never went back. During that time I was happier, I felt calm and refreshed. I didn't have to scroll on Instagram or TikTok for hours before bed or at all so my sleep was uninterrupted and the quality of sleep was even better, I bet I had more deep sleep cycles. Now I spend hours in REM sleep, I am lucky if I spend 30 minutes in deep sleep ugh... You all know how much I love my sleep so that's a big reason!

  • I hate how much we are all connected. At times after scrolling online for more than 30 minutes I feel overwhelmed and disoriented by all the information I just consumed. I don't need to see the inside of your apartment before I visit you, I don't need to know you went to Europe all summer because when I see you I won't even ask about what you did this summer because I already know! see now our conversation is cut short. I saw everything online already! there's nothing left for me to ask you, except well did you enjoy your vacation?
  • I don't like sharing everything but it's hard because what do I post on my stories? I only post my cats, my workout and food or drink...I post nice places but only after I left. Every time I post myself I hate it...I hate sharing part of my life with complete strangers who don't even care which is why I stopped accepting new friends request because what's the point I am deleting my social media eventually.
  • I don't mind when people don't watch my stories because I don't watch theirs either...it gives me a lot to talk about when we connect. I can't even tell you fun facts about myself because you've seen it all! you saw me at the gym! you saw me watching football and being obsessed about Mbappe like you know it all! what else can I share?
  • People are faking on social media. they fake a smile, post the best parts about their lives and I don't blame them because I do the same! you never really know people on social media because they are faking a persona! they post pictures with filters so you never really know someone until you meet them in person.
  • comparison is a thief of joy. when you see people travelling, have expensive things you may start comparing your life to them without noticing and now you're feeling bad about yourself! but you're doing amazing but because you compare what you see on social media to your life now you're feeling as if you're not doing enough.
  • the constant post about being better, glow up and improve yourself will make focus so much on trying to improve rather than just love where you are right now. What is this constant need to evolve? can we just enjoy life? No I don't need that $700 curling iron to make my life better, I can enjoy life just fine without it. 

I do believe we were not meant to be sooo connected online. People back in 1970's were happier, they had better focus they read books, their vocabulary was better because they didn't have a rectangulaire device to scroll on all day. women had better self respect, they weren't posing  nude online for the whole world to see. women dressed better, held themselves to a higher standards they were not obsessing about men online and worrying about who he's following.

Despite the snow storm I went to the gym last night, I must be a psycho to do that. Yes I am in fact not right in the head because how did I even thought it would be possible to do that! it was snowing this afternoon when I went. I have a small car so it's a bit more challenging. I realize how much I hate working out at night, it wasn't busy it was probably 5 people there me included but I didn't recognized any of them, in the morning I know everybody and I know who I am going to see because they always show up at that time.  on top of all the snow we got, we got a few inches last nigt. It was scary I am not gonna lie at one point I thought I was going to be stuck! I manage to go to another road and made it home safely! 

Honestly I am not addicted of the gains it's more mental, when I work out I get happier. I feel better overall, I am very competitive but mostly with my past self I am always trying to do better, to be better and to work harder.

simple wedding

Publié par Gaelle.R

If I get married that would be a shock to me but I wouldn't mind it if it's with the love of my life. If it does happens I want the simplest wedding ever, there will be less than 10 people from my side am not sure about his but only close friends and immediate family will be invited. There won't be more than 40 people I know that for sure. It will small and intimate. No one will be allowed to take my picture only my hired photographer will take my picture. No phones will be allowed in because I don't want anyone taking my picture or posting about my wedding. Let me post the pictures, let me announce it. 

There won't be a 6 feet cake with a bride and groom on top of it...I hate it. There will be a cute cake for me to cut with my husband, there won't be a rehearsal dinner or party either. The reception would be outside in a beautiful garden, I would love to get married in summer or spring. I want the garden to be lighted up with lights and lighted lanterns. I do want a veil and a white dress, maybe it's the virgin in me but I love that lol. The dj will only play slow ballads and vintage love songs, nothing over the top just slow songs...I'll try to get my husband on board.  There will be lots of champagne and there have to be a chocolate fountain! Call me boring but I want my wedding to be emotional and happy all the same time. I want to cry tears of joy and I want to be happy to be there. I don't like parties but my wedding has to be something I genuinely enjoy...I will compromise of course to make my husband happy but for now this is what I want. I want my husband to twirl me around on the dance floor... there will be some compas too.

Honestly if it  just be me and him plus my mom and his parents I would be glad. I hate having a big crowd and half the people there wouldn't even care about my wedding all they would care about would just be the food. Our union is sacred and it would mean a lot to me. I don't want anyone with bad intentions interfering with my marriage. If I invite someone to my wedding just know I love them a lot and I trust them otherwise nah.

official leaver

Publié par Gaelle.R

I think one thing people would be surprised to know is how strict I am. I don't play about my wellbeing, my love, my friendship and my feelings. If I don't take those seriously who will? a complete stranger? a friend who only checks in once a bleu moon? a family member who has 10 different thing to handle in day? I am accountable for my actions, my decisions and anything that concerns me. 

I don't stick around when love has left, I don't insist on keeping a connection when it's long gone. I don't force anything, if you think I am not the best person for you then please go find the person that suits you best. If you don't want me in your life I won't fight to stay. I understand everyone has something they're battling with and if they want me to stay away I will. But if they open the door and allow me to be there for them, then I will be there until the end.

I don't force connections, I don't force people to love me, I don't force friendships...I'll simply leave. I am a leaver. If we're not compatible I won't waste your time, I'll let you go immediately by week 2 of talking to you I already know where we stand and what I can give you. I don't drag people along because I know that will keep their hopes alive and when I decide this man is not for me, he will never be... no matter how long he waits for me.  when I decide to stay by your side it's because I want to stay because I can leave anytime I want it doesn't matter if I love you or not. Love has nothing to do with anything, I've learn how to control my emotions at a very young age. I am able to walk away from anything, no matter how bad my heart is breaking I know pain is not forever and one day I'll get over it, I always do.

I am an old soul:

I love vintage clothing, 80's music, 1950's films, vinyl records, Sade, Michael Jackson, love letters, photographs, landline...

Old school love where he respects my boundaries, stares deeply into my eyes, hold my hands, dance in the rain with me, hold me till I fall asleep, brush my hair or massage my scalp because a brush is not going to go through my hair easily, speaks to me softly, feed each other...oh wait this is not about my love fantaisies; ok what was this about? oh yeah I'm basically an old lady born in the 1950's
