Authentic Me...

The more I supplement what my body needs from "Mother Nature" the more authentic I feel. It's hard to explain but it's like when I walk in the woods, there is something there that I connect with and feels like "me." I remember trying different exercises over the course of my life and one time I tried yoga. It brought me that same connection and feeling " it's me.". Being a mother has ALWAYS brought me a connection that felt right, and my hope is, in this new stage of my life, I will continue to stay in tune with my mind,body,spirit and follow what makes me feels right, and "Authentically me!

Routine...

I'm trying to establish a routine of the things I want more of in my life. Like unstructured writing, planned writing, exercise ( includes, yoga, weights and walking) and more thought out meals for myself. I've read it takes weeks and months to establish habit's and routines, and I'm hoping the good habit's will start out weighing the bad because they are producing JOY. But I only have one rule and that is there is NO judgement allowed. If I didn't get the yoga done or the writing I'd intended I can do it later that day or tomorrow. It's more about self care and continuing to strive for what I want in my life and to focus on what I am doing right instead on what I'm not. 

exercising my JOY

I wake this morning to thoughts that were unpleasant and not constructive to be thinking. If not controlled or contained they are like an avalanche that picks up speed and only ends in disaster. I realized the muscle of joy and good thoughts has to be continually used to grow stronger and more prominent in my life. In ever present moment there is available either joy or unhappiness. I can choose! It has to be a conscious effort, to remain in the moment and exercise the muscle of positive thinking. Each present moment give me another opportunity to practice and decide what it is that I want in and for my life. I decide.......... I want JOY !
