I said I was going to focus on one area of my life each month to get a handle on things I want to deal with. Things that I never seem to get to.
This past month...it was my physical body :) Yes the container for my spirit needed some attention.
I work very long hours on my feet so my body takes a pounding. It deserved my attention first.
Here is what I did:
I was eating poorly. I decided I needed some structure to follow. I decided to follow Weight Watchers for six week. I have an older program that someone gave me. I have stayed on it. I feel better and better. I am no longer coming home and eat like a crazy woman at 1 AM.
I am eating several times a day. I have only weighed myself 3 times. When I started. Once in the middle and yesterday. I have lost 15 pounds. :) My body says thank you!
Then: eating poorly and very late at night. Now: 15 pounds lighter and eating throughout the day.
I have always wanted long hair. My two sisters and I have all gone through the process of growing our hair long. I think it was because when we were little our mom cut our hair very short. They were called "pixies" back then...if your hair grew below your ears...boom...it was gone! :)
For the last five years I have been growing my hair out. It got pretty long. Then I realized that I was spending a lot of time on it. Looking at it, fixing it...trying to make it look a certain way. Then one day I realized it was tired. It just hung there and looked tired. So I sent a text to my hair person and said I believe it was time for my hair to go. It looks tired and I am not.
I took a picture of my niece and I several years ago along and said, " This is what I would like or something close to it." Cut, cut, snip, snip...five years of growth...gone.
My hair is now shoulder length and looking quite energic if I say so myself.
Then: long, hanging hair that looked tired. Now: shoulder length hair that is full of energy!
Lastly I am using a vitamin powder every morning in juice or my smoothie and using energy machines that my friend has at her wellness center once week. I will write more about all of this soon...because I can feel the difference in a wonderful way. The machines somehow get more oxygen into your body and re-aline your energy. I don't understand it but I am a believer.
Then: feeling tired. Now: I have energy to spare!
Here's my recap: Focus - my physical body
Lost 15 pounds
Cut hair
Doing energy work
I am happy as a clam. And looking butmore importantly feelingbetter and better every day. I am continuing to build on what I have put in place. It takes 21 days to form a habit...I have over 30 days in. :) And my physical body thanks me.
This month my focus: my finances. Another area that needs my focus. Let's see what I can accomplish in 30 days. :)
