Small changes
So along with my spiritual journey that I just recently started I'm also try to incorporate other small changes with it. For instance, my physical change is just to try and work out more and eat healthy. Now this is easier said than done, because I love me some food lol. Nah but yesterday, I started my first workout regimen and it was difficult to say the least but I did at least put forth the effort and I plan on continuing with the regimen whether I like it or not, because the outcome is what is important, a healthier me. I have also changed my eating habits quite a bit, for about a week now I have been drinking nothing but whatever, at first I had to force myself, but now its out of habit, it's like I feel weird if I don't have a bottle or cup of water near me. Will I ever drink juice again, probably so, but not anytime soon, I'm really trying to stick with this. Also I have started taking daily vitamins to assist where I lack in my daily intake of fruits and vegetables. So yea as you can see, Im taking baby steps, don't get me wrong i have slipped in the food area, like the other night I order chinese, but surpingsly, all I ate was the broccilli and when it came to the chicken and rice, I had to force myself to eat it, and i still have alot leftover so I guess, my body is actually starting to reject the so called food i once loved. I try to incorporate a salad at least once a day...... Ok enough about my physical journey, lets talk about my mental journey...... This journey consisted of breaking a lot of bad habits, such as what I watch on tv, who I surround myself with and other things of that nature. For instance I am normally a reality tv guru, anything reality tv, i know about it, and I watch it. Well recently I have began to catch myself watching this shows and I will change the channel to either something more productive or I will just do something else. I'm beginning to learn that these shows have had a negative effect on me, in reference to how I treat myself, others, and just constantly sitting there absorbing drama. So lately I have been watching more comedy and of course Spongebob Squarepants with the nephew :) Also I have been reading more and not just textbooks, more so inspirational books that can give me some insight on life and how to do deal with things as they. I will be honest I have never been one to just read the BIBLE and receive things the way others do. Now I do take certain scriptures and try and apply it to my daily life but that is about far as i go. I'm the type of person I learn more from an inspirational book that incorporates scriptures into an everyday life situation, like chicken soup for the soul, TD Jakes books, Joel Osteen books and others....... Wow i have written a lot, well i hope this gives you a little insight into the changes that are going on inside of me
