I recently was talking with my bff about life. We both have aging parents and we both are in our early 50's. I think it's normal to be taking stock of your life. I can honestly say that I'm pretty damn happy with my life. There's not much I would change. But what if you're not very happy with your life? You don't like your job. Maybe your current relationships are not fulfilling. You're not living the life you want. Yet some will say..."Be happy/thankful for what you have." So, you try to be happy for having your crappy job and empty relationships. But, come on, that's not really the answer.
You can be thankful for realizing you want a better life for yourself. That's the first step. Get a journal and write down 1 or 2 goals to a better life. Give yourself 6 months to reach those goals. Then you'll be thankful for 3 things: 1) Knowing you need to make a change. 2) Achieving goal #1 3) Achieving goal #2
Your goals can be as big or small as you want. Make them reasonable to achieve.
Making life changes can be scary. It's easy to just sit back and accept what you already have.
You've got to make change happen if that's what you truly want.
Be thankful for life's ruts....they can be a source of motivation for change.
I've finished my first week of eating "clean"....no sugar, processed foods, fried foods. I have to admit I don't feel so sluggish, I'm sleeping much better, no heartburn and my leg twitches have drastically been reduced.
Now, I've been down this healthy road before and had the same positive results. By writing this blog I hope to stay focused on my goal of giving up crappy foods once and for all. Onward and upward!
