Don't know where to start so I will just start with the thoughts that pop into my head. Sorry if anyone reads this and it seems to be mindless chatter, but that is the point of this blog, for me to have a place to just release what is in my head.
I have an amazing life and for reasons not fully understood by me, I do not acknowledge often enough how truely amazing my life is. So, I am embarking on a journey to become the most authentic me that I can be. I have such ideas of how I want to lead my life. I read books, blogs, articles, magazines, etc, etc, on how I should be living my life and what I can be doing to change. But that is all I do, read about it. Rather than actively living that life, I just read about how I could live it. Now that is hopefully going to change and maybe by writing it down and putting it out there for anyone to read, I will make myself become more accountable for making it happen. It is afterall, my life, so I am the only one who can make the change.
Some of the changes I intend to do which should be effective immediately include, but are not limited to, practicing yoga both physically and mentally more often (aiming for daily), eating much, much better than I do and cutting out all processed foods, practicing Grace, being a better friend, lover and wife to my amazing husband and being the very best mom, not friend, to my wonderful and fabulous 4 sons. Also I want to be more patient with my parents and tolerant of their opinions and decisions that they are making in their life (this may be particular difficult to do because I am having a very hard time with their behavior in their older years) because I love them so very, very much and know that they will not be with me for that much longer and I don't want it spent with grudges and regrets.
With the help of some people I do not know at all, but have found on the internet, I hope to make progress with these starting changes. I love reading what others have discovered and how they have made their changes and the struggles that they have been through. Honesty with one's self is what I realize is going to be the biggest catalyst in my progress. Honesty is sometimes a very difficult thing to be with ourselves as it makes us look at the ugly in ourselves as well as our dissapointments and failures. But we need to not see these attributes as ugly, but as part of who we are and why we are. It is in all of us to tweak these traits and correct them. To those of you who may read this, I hope to have your support and understanding on my "journey" and welcome any comments or criticism you may have. Accepting constructive criticism without crying is another trait I need to perfect, hahaha.
So in closing, all I have to say is, let the journey begin!!!!!
In Light and Love,
Debbie
