Okay guys, buckle up. Virgo season hit hard this year, so I actually cracked open that Virgo October health guide everyone’s buzzing about. Here’s exactly how my month shook out trying their tips:
Gutting the Basic Advice First
Flipped open the app and skimmed it like I do every month. Main points jumped out:
- Drink more water than coffee (ouch)
- Stretch for 10 mins daily
- Journal before bed
- Cut sugar after 3 PM
Laughed at the water thing – my mug’s permanently coffee-stained. But hell, I marked a giant “TRY THIS CRAP” on my fridge whiteboard anyway.
The Morning Disaster Attempt
Day one: Woke up, dumped my usual coffee down the sink. Filled the kettle, sliced lemon like they said. Took one sip of hot lemon water and nearly spat it out. Tasted like sad dishwater. Lasted two days before I compromised – one small coffee THEN water. Felt like a win.
The Stretching Fiasco
Tried the stretch routine from the guide. Got tangled in my pajama pants doing some “spinal twist” thing. Cat thought it was playtime and attacked my legs. Lasted 4 minutes tops. Switched to shoulder rolls while brushing my teeth instead. Still counting it.
Journaling Win (Surprisingly)
Hated the idea at first – who’s got time? Grabbed an old notebook instead of buying a fancy one. Wrote three lines on Monday: “Tired. Work sucked. Ate leftover pizza.” By Friday? Accidentally vented for two pages about my neighbour’s loud dog. Felt weirdly lighter. Kept doing it.
The 3 PM Sugar Rule Battle
This one hurt. My 3:30 chocolate bar addiction? Brutal. Replaced it with almonds for three days straight. Day four, caved and ate peanut butter straight from the jar with a spoon. Compromised again – dark chocolate squares only after meals. Still tasted better than lemon water.
The Verdict After 30 Days
Did I become some glowing Virgo health goddess? Nah. But the journal stuck. I sip water between coffees. My sugar crashes aren’t as bad. Biggest lesson? Horoscope advice works better when you twist it to fit your messy reality. Forced lemon water? Never again. Finding what makes YOU feel less burnt out? That’s the magic.
