This past month has been quite tumultuous. I wanted to break-free of all the rules, schedules, regimes, I had created for myself. I knew they all had a purpose and they were in place to help me stay on track but something in me just wanted to break-free. And so I did. I didn't blog regularly, I didn't workout regularly, I cancelled appointments, I did whatever my heart desired. And it felt SO GOOD. It is so unlike me to behave this way.
However, I still couldn't completely let go. I could hear Type A Tanvi having conversation with Rebel Tanvi and reaching a compromise. The prior convinced the later to run on bare minimum regime: two blog posts a week instead of five, two/three workouts a week instead of six, indulge a little but stick to no refined carbs and 1200 calorie diet. I am not sure when the Type A Tanvi will be back but this change of pace is definitely helping me create some brain space for new ideas and new thoughts. P.S. I am glad that the sensible part of my brain is maintaining some form order even in rebel-mode and that I haven't completely jumped off my balanced lifestyle bandwagon.

I really love these blue Gap jeans on you. And I'm happy you've come to a compromise with your lifestyle. It's good to have order, but it's good to let loose, too. Always nice to have a balance.

Rebel-Tanvi isn't crazy; she's just looser than Normal-Tanvi. Which means her emergence now and then isn't bad; it offers Normal Tanvi balance. We should all loosen up once in a while.
ReplyDeleteim so happy that you are liking your new routine..letting go is so necessary sometimes :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tanvi,
ReplyDeleteI love your long blouse layer. I feel the same way about routine and schedule right now. I think it's Springtime! Letting things go feels great when it's right.

Tanvi - I feel like...we need to meet! LOL! I felt the exact same way as you. I was rundown - I have overscheduled myself with blog stuff and was burning out. Last week, I cancelled everything and didn't blog (I had a bunch of scheduled posts that I used instead of spending hours writing and editing).
ReplyDeleteIT FELT GREAT. I focused on me, spent time with my husband, watched my favourite shows and just reconnected with myself. I feel like a new person!
Great post - and you look beautiful!
Love the kaftan and the sandals, looking beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI live my life essentially doing whatever I want when I want. I drink beer on Mondays and Wednesdays, or I have a bottle of wine if I feel like it. Or I buy clothes if I see something I like! I just do what I want, and it's so empowering to make those decisions. I did go for my first run in a LONG time the other day, which was quite the feat! I enjoyed catching up on your life as of late! xx
