November

Good morning everyone! 

Happy Sunday and happy November :) This month is going to be amazing. 

I have found the root cause of my fatigue and high cortisol. Two days ago, I went to the doctor and found out I had been deficient in vitamin B. This can have significant knock-on effects on feeling tired, unable to concentrate, shortness of breath, cortisol, and basically all the symptoms I have been feeling. 

My sleep has also been terrible, so I have been prescribed a B multivitamin and sleeping tablets- and honestly (after just two days of the treatments, I feel so much better- it’s crazy! So, hopefully, in the coming weeks, this will continue to improve.

This morning, as I was creating my schedule for next week, I felt a clarity I hadn’t felt for some time. The same is true for movement practice. 

Now I feel very excited to progress with everything and bring you all along!! 

I will integrate more of my handstand/contortion and core training with movement. My aim is to make these sessions as fluid as possible.  I guess I am developing my kind of practice- (extreme fluid yoga- with a hand-balancing contortionist).

A new gym has opened along the street where I live, so there are now two gyms very close to me that offer Hyrox-style sessions. All being well, I plan to do at least one (potentially two) of these sessions daily. 

My weight training split for the next week will be push, pull, and legs. I was toying with sticking to an upper-lower split. However, with all the classes I will be doing, covering the full upper body in one session makes it a lot of volume, and I struggle to push with the intensity desired in every exercise. 

So, I will rotate my push and pull legs daily with one rest day a week. 

While I have been away, I have gotten into meditation. I listen to a Kundalini/ Bineral beats style piece on YouTube; what I have experienced through this has been incredible. It has always been challenging for me to completely relax. However, meditation has helped me to do this, and I will continue to get better and better the more I can practice.

The potential of what we can achieve through meditation and the power to tap into certain states is beyond belief, and I am very excited to keep exploring this. 

Everything is energy and frequency, and I think when we become conscious of this, we can feel everything—within ourselves and around us. I have just started reading the book Becoming Supernatural by Joe Dispenza. It will be an incredible and eye-opening read—I will keep you all posted! 

Lastly, I have sorted out a meal prep company, so I will meet all my nutrition, micro, and macro requirements to support all my goals. I will have four meals daily: 2x Rice, beef, and vegetables, 1x Rice, salmon, and vegetables, and 1x Rice, chicken, egg, and vegetables. I will also get all my electrolytes, rehydrating them with coconut water and anything additional if needed. 

I think it’s going to be a very productive couple of months! 

As always, thank you all for being here. I am so grateful for your support and for bringing you along.
