February
never fails to become significant. Again, February had been a month of
trial for me. Let’s admit, it is tough to be facing the Love Month alone this
year, but to be honest, it wasn’t bad. Being with friends and doing the things
I love had been the highlight of the season. They were able to complete the
puzzle that longed for its proper pieces. I felt complete.
What have I
been up to lately? I’ve spent quite a lot of time with my best-est best friend,
Erin. We’ve gone to the gym to work out together (even though at times, we’d
just be surprised that we’d both be there at the same time). She took me boxing on
Valentine’s Day. Boxing had been quite an experience for me. I highly recommend
people try this sport. Erin tells me that it can be a really good stress
reliever especially when you want to release all that rage, and from where I see it, she’s right. Your hand-eye coordination will greatly improve as well if
you go boxing regularly. Erin had always been a good influence especially with
sports and fitness. I think that was the best Valentine’s Day I’ve ever had so
far; a simple boxing date with my best friend.
This month, the concept of self-love has been greatly emphasized also. I got a new gym membership this month and I’ve started really working out again. The past months, football was the only main workout I get. Now, I’ve set new fitness goals. I strongly believe that we should NOT stop going to the gym after we have reached our fitness goals. There is always room for self-improvement. And I do believe that one can never go wrong with being fit. One can take a step back with the intensity of their workout after reaching their fitness goals but we should never ever stop.
I have also
let myself let go with a little bit of temptation. Since I’ve reached my
fitness goals already, I’ve let myself indulge with food like fries, pizza, ice
cream and cake. I have also recently discovered how amazing Korean food is and
it’s starting to become my favorite food. Back then I’ve always felt guilty
whenever I eat “bad food.” But then I’ve realized that I should let myself live
a little, especially since I’ve worked too hard and I think I deserve it as a
reward. I believe that to feed one’s body with “cheat food” is to feed one’s
soul with love. I just loooooove to eat! To be honest, it’s one of my favorite
things to do.
See? “Doing what you love with the people you love.” And it doesn’t have to be a significant other. It can be your family or friends, or even just yourself. All you have to do is to let yourself see the good in things, only then will you feel complete.
