Hello!
How are you?
I am tired – Why are you tired? I hear you saying? It's the start of the New year – a year full of fantastic possibilities and opportunities.
I say YAY in a very half-hearted – non-cheery way!!!!
You say – Oh no – what has happened???
I say – Well, I am focused on my Health and Wellness this year. I am tidying up some habits that got loose over the Christmas and New Year break. I am taking alcohol, chips and chocolate out of the mix of my life for 30 days to help my body find its balance.
You say – GREAT WORK! Because you are one of the beautiful, supportive people I have in my life who support me no matter what.
I say - YAY in a very half-hearted – non-cheery way!!!!
This leads to you looking at me oddly and asking the next excellent question: Well, if you are focused on being Healthy and Well and getting your good habits back on track, then why are you so flat and tired?
I genuinely love you, my great friend, as you have reminded me about the energy and understanding needed when we use WILLPOWER at a maximum level of 10 for our change.
FUN FACTS about WILLPOWER
Great to Remember this! I am asking my body to be OK with not eating chips or chocolate for 30 days. Additionally, I will not drink alcohol for 90 days!
The threat is real to my brain and body, and I must ACT NOW for my success!
How can I build my Willpower muscles, so I don't feel so tired and run the risk of giving up?
After writing this Blog today, I need to spend some more time being mindful and meditate for my energy.
