Day 66 blog

Yesterday, Monday, was such a good day. The kind of day that reminds you how important it is to slow down and take care of yourself. I intentionally kept things easy and focused on rest. I got a massage, hit the gym, and later went out to dinner to celebrate one of my friend’s birthdays. Nothing rushed. Nothing overwhelming. Just a really balanced, enjoyable day.
I also made sure to stay consistent with the Bible study I’m following for the month. I love how much I’ve been leaning back into my faith lately. In just a short few months of making it front and center again, I’ve already seen such a noticeable shift in my life. My mind feels clearer. I’m less stressed. I’m more selective with where I put my time, my energy, and my attention. It’s amazing how grounding faith can be when you truly allow it to guide you.
One thing I’ve really noticed is how much more intentional I’ve become. I’m being more picky in the best way. About people. About commitments. About what I allow into my space. There’s a peace that comes with that kind of discernment, and I know a lot of it comes from being spiritually aware and aligned again.
I also started reading again, which feels really good. Reading used to be something I genuinely enjoyed, and at some point I stopped. Looking back, I think that had a lot to do with the toxicity that surrounded me for a while. It’s funny how the things we love quietly fall away when our environment isn’t healthy. Picking that habit back up feels like reconnecting with a part of myself I missed.
Right now, I’m reading The Girl on the Bathroom Floor by Amber Smith, and I’m really enjoying it. If anyone has book recommendations, send them my way. I’ve got a few on my list, but I’m always looking to add more.
Overall, yesterday felt really full in the best way. Rest, movement, connection, faith, and quiet moments just for me. Days like that remind me that life doesn’t always need to be loud or busy to be meaningful. Sometimes the biggest progress comes from slowing down and choosing what truly nourishes you.
Grateful for days like this and excited to keep moving forward with clarity, intention, and faith.
Signed, Paulina.
It is just so encouraging to hear as each day passes that you are falling more into a place of real peace and happiness. It’s a beautiful thing to read about and I’m sure actually feeling it is all that much more powerful; I can only imagine how much you will have changed when your vacation is over. This has been a moment of self-discovery for you where you are (as you have said) aligning yourself, becoming this new person that protects herself from those that do not add to her life and gives that energy to things that bring life and energy to her.
This is your time now to completely reset yourself before your return back home. …
I love this!!! So good and so encouraging. I’m always blessed just reading your blog. I love that you’re getting back to your faith. Best thing anyone can do!❤️❤️❤️
