I often have long and drawn out conversations in my head that seem to last the whole day and into my night. I am constantly thinking of how best to help others and how to share my everyday life in a way that will bring happiness to others as well as encouragement. I am not a writer, but still I make this attempt, hoping that if anything it will bring me comfort and peace.
There is so much in my back story, but I am sure that is the case for many. So instead of blabbing away on those things I have decided to start in the present and share periodically the past as I continue to blog.
Today is July 24th, 2017 and it is my FRESH START to me(again). I have been in a serious rut emotionally and physically since last year. Sure I have had moments of dedication, but ultimately I have been a slave to depression and anxiety. I have had several chronic conditions that have limited my physical abilities and I just gave up. One thing about me though is I am not a quitter! I spent the last year beating myself up because I knew that what I was doing was NOT helping me to be who I wanted to be. I always knew this day was coming. What I am learning as I look back on the past year is that I had to feel those emotions in order to fully understand and appreciate the blessings in my life. I spent a year with the wrong focus. I was fixated on the negative occurrences in my life that I almost completely blinded myself to the MANY blessings I had. Thankfully, I had not sunk too deep into my despair. So here I am this morning up for already an hour and a half!
I am making an effort to wake early every day and take time to set my mind right. I want to be in control of me and by allowing myself to start a pattern of positivity with no distractions I am building a VERY strong foundation for the day. I start at 5am EST with the S.A.V.E.R.S (The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod, amazing book and highly recommend it)
I am not expecting perfection in my quest and because I have done this before. I know there will be many mornings that I struggle to get out of bed, but I also know the HUGE BENEFITS that will come because I am consistent.
I am done with living the "it is what it is" life. I believe that there is more and that requires growth and change. I have huge goals for my family and myself! I am determined to help others to see their full potential too and help them to find the courage and strength to take control of their lives.
So here's to day one!
