It’s a brand new year and I wish everyone the best. Though I ended last year a bit depressed, I’m hoping to make a fresh start this year and do whatever it takes to keep a positive attitude and stay healthy.
I’ve ordered lots of self-help books from the library; some are religious and others have messages about visualizing what you want to achieve.
I know positive thinking is common sense. Of course it’s better to focus on the positive rather than the negative! However, I’m a real person with real feelings. I’m also a woman with ever-changing hormones and staying upbeat all the time remains “iffy” at best. As for visualizing things into happening, I’ll give it a shot. Ultimately, however, I know my faith must lie in God. But even God expects me to do my part.
My part includes doing certain things that are necessary for my healing. Eating well and exercising are two things that I must start paying more attention to. Finding time to relax and enjoy my family are also things I must do. I’m a pretty simple person, so that shouldn’t be too hard. I don’t need a spa or a fancy vacation; I can just watch the travel channel or take a walk and look at the beautiful trees. The food and exercise thing will be a bit trickier. This is where I wish I had the resources to afford a personal chef and an exercise room in my home. Well, maybe for my first visualization exercise I’ll try focusing on getting my own personal chef and moving into a larger home with space for an exercise room. Until then, it’ll be Mama Mia’s Cafeteria (which means me in an apron cooking for myself) and my exercise stepper can do double-duty as a serving tray or very low coffee table.
