1st August 2017
The cost of not following your heart, is spending the rest
of your life wishing you had.
Fireworks! What’s
that all about, I’d had an early night well 9 ish, not early for me but for
most and I was woke by really loud bangs around half eleven – not impressed at
all. Then mom woke me up at least 3
more times throughout the night having conversations with Alfie, asking if he
was alright or looking for her cough sweets or rennies – yay, me tired – No! Nothing a cup of coffee can't sort out :)
Yesterday was another busy day, I went to look for lino, did
a bit of shopping for nice food from M&S because I now have no cooker for a
bit and the fridge / freezer is in the living room, that’s not helping the
diet, sitting next to a fridge I can tell you.
All that’s in the kitchen now is a sink, the kitchen floor was skimmed
last night, has to be left to dry for 24 hours so we’re gonna be making tea in
the utility room and washing up in the bath.
I’ve just decided as it’s the first of August I’m going to
make this month ‘Aware August’, I want myself and my members to become more aware
of our behaviour, not just to do or react but realise what we’re doing and
maybe try to find out why. The best way
to do that is to track, I’m going to give every member I weigh
a paper tracker to take home and fill in every day. Then next week we’ll all bring them back to the
meeting to discuss.
I plan to make little notes on mine if the
food I have isn’t planned or thought about, I want to get back to understanding
the choices I’m making and why. Yeah
here’s to ‘Aware August’ if we don’t know we’re doing it, we can’t make changes,
if we know we’re doing it and why those changes will be easier to make. Understanding is key to success when you
think about it, every aspect of our lives is created by the choices that we
make. If we can develop a sense of self
awareness, if we can learn to understand who we are, we can work towards who we
want to be. It all takes a little
patience and time, and we are worth putting the effort in for sure.
Oh and one the first step towards change is
to become aware of your own excuses, we all use them, excuses, justifications
call them what you will, they’re the things stopping us achieving what we truly
want because it’s easier in the short term to give up on what we want in the
long term.
I don’t know about you but today I’m
choosing to be happy, nothing can make me happy until I choose to be happy (not
even a new kitchen). No person or thing
will make me happy until I decide to be happy because happiness will not come
to me, it can only come from me. You are
the same you know, so are you choosing to be happy today BeYOUtiful?
Shall we spend this month being aware of
ourselves and choosing to be happy, I like the sound of that a lot, I’m going
to start right now by going to find that paper tracker to write on and trying
to make poached eggs in my microwave because apparently you can. According to the video I watched yesterday on
Facebook, ½ cup water, crack 1 egg into it, microwave for 1 minute = perfect poached
egg. We shall see!
Here’s to a good day BeYOUtiful, let’s be
aware of who we are. xx
