I am enjoying myself. Im running, doing Zumba classes-(which is a lot like a comedy show). I am mostlymaking healthy food choices.I am staying the course. I am believing in me. (Sometimes that is the hardest thing, you know?)
I find that there is a combination of things which really help me. One is to constantlyredirect my focus, which is to say, take a day or evenan hour and redefine exactly what my goals are, thenthink about and plan the little steps it takes me to get there.I have to do this aboutevery week ormy visiontends to waverand getlost in the mish-mash ofmy daily responsibilites.
I keep a journal ofONLY successes. (Is that proper spelling? Ah...not really one of my goals so it doesnt matter..) The reason I do that is to force myself to think positively. The negatives are so destructive, so I ignore them. Sure, theyare also teaching toolsbut Itry tofind a way to record them in a positive light.
Checking in with BRS. Recently I received an encouraging message from a fellow BRS member, and let me say that it was very timely. It was a day that I was struggling with foot pain and I guess...fear? (of damaging my foot)--in short,her kind wordsinspired me to keep trying. I went for a run, a little unsure at first-and found out (to my great relief) that the pain worked itself out as my muscles warmed up. And then I felt soooo good!
So,my friend,if your reading my blog--a virtual hug and a big thank you! And also thank you to everyone else who posts-I enjoy your stories and I amlearning a lot. (Like I hope I never step in human poop. OMG. Even with mins.)
