Getting my mind back! It's empowering!

I woke up today, after having a not so nutritious day yesterday, feeling like absolute CRAP! I have been out of my fabulously healthy lifestyle ever since I got news that we were moving to Texas. My mind and emotions have been in over drive but not thinking at all about how I need my healthy lifestyle to help me cope with all these changes. So my mind drifted off in doughnut world where my problems get eaten away but that only lasts 2 hours and then I need another "fix". I slowly allowed myself to take out my stress, anxiety, and frustration on my body. Well not anymore!

I had an intervention in my mind this morning and instead of fixing a pot of coffee because " I deserve it, I have a lot of overwhelming crap on my plate lately" I decided to push the button to heat up water for some detox tea. With that small change in my day, I gained some control back into my life.

Right now it's about 3:00 and I have had nothing but lots of water, detox tea with peppermint and a 16 oz. green juice. I just got done doing a full butt-busting incline training workout with fitness guru, Jillian Michaels, and some yoga to clear my head and stretch my body. I feel refreshed! It's like I've been drowning in my emotions and was pulled out and splashed in the face with mother nature's curing sun-rays!

My mind is now clicked back into my body and I feel like I have wrangled my emotions back to where I can deal with them rather than letting them roam all over the place. I needed this kind of revelation to jar me back into what matters again. It's a lifestyle and it still is my lifestyle but I veered off and started letting myself get comfort from those crack selling convenient drive-thru windows. This will happen from time to time throughout my life but hopefully each time I stray it will be shorter and shorter until one day I will seek emotional comfort from meditation and yoga instead of letting addictive, unhealthy, sugary, processed food with absolutely no business even calling itself "food", be my comfort.

This lifestyle is just that...a lifestyle...not a sprint, but a marathon! It's hard work but results will always follow knowledge & dedication. Keep learning and keep growing, that is what makes us great!

Happy juicing everyone! Cheers with your green monster juice & don't forget to give yourself some CREDIT today! :)
