    Fortitude

    Some days I wonder why I’m doing this. Why I drag myself to the gym three times a week. Why I keep watching what I eat, even when it would be so much easier to just let go. But then I remember that quote:“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.” And that’s...

    this is a double page I made in february Here is my journaling After several weeks of trying, of dipping my toes in but not fully committing, I’ve finally taken the plunge: I signed up for the gym.

    RESOLVE

    Susie inspired me with her beautiful layout “Resolve” to write this journaling. Not only her stunning layout, but also her journaling got me started. At the beginning of my health journey mid January 2025, I doubted my ability to succeed. However, I understood that without total dedication...
