21 days to health and wellness... Umm mm let's see
I've become more aware of "habits"
I've become more aware of making commitments
I've become more aware!
I think I'm more thoughtful in food choices
I think I'm more thoughtful about how I start my day
I think... ya... I think... therefore I am!
I still have excuses about routine. Ah, I have to face it... I don't seem to do anything the same way twice. It's as though I avoid doing something systematic.. or routine.
No, that's not true. I developed a habit when I walk in the door of putting my keys and purse in the same place every time.
Why? Mostly because I became so frustrated at loosing my keys and purse.
Self Preservation! But, when I'm not at home(s), I get all messed up. Why, because
I don't have the same place to put my stuff.
So, I see the problem.
It's difficult for me to have a routine when my life doesn't have routine.
NO EXCUSES! but yet it's a real excuse.
so, this week I HAVE TO, WANT TO, WILL TO (ya that's good.... "will too".. you know my will)
I WILL TO make (not find) 30 minutes to pray and exercise at the same time!
I have noticed as much as I have drawn closer to my walk with the Lord through this journey, I NEED to develop a more effect prayer life. I pray, but DO I LISTEN!?
I pray, but do I LISTEN!!!! I stray when I am reading the bible, I stray (my mind) when I'm praying. I need God to heal and help my brain NOT STRAY!
another thought (oh, ya there I go straying!)
I had something disturb me this morning. (relationship issue) And as it disturbed me in my soul and even in my stomach.... I was fighting myself saying "I refuse to let this rob me of my joy today!" "Oh, Lord help me". How come I can tell others "you need to just get over it and move on" yet here I was plagued by my disturbing, disappointing almost angry thoughts. Then I "thought".... In order for me to STOP these thoughts I need to think on "what is true, lovely, ..... etc" SO, I tried but .... failed.
THEN I recalled that if
I SANG
out loud
(thank goodness I was in the car)
it would work.
AND IT DID! I sang "hallelujah song" strong and loud, thinking in my head...
Thank you Jesus and began to praise HIM.
Miracle... it worked! I was restored peace in my soul and joy.
God inhabits the praises of His people"
Psalms 22:3
Count my blessings,
praise Him,
develop routine and habits that bring
Health and Wellness
to my body, soul and spirit
Start again in the morning!
Back to the END
Salute!
I need to blog every day... it motivates me, centers me and just that... it is good for me!
