Unsettled & Off Balance
- I MUST work out on a regular basis. This is like medicine to me and I know it. I hate that at times it is a struggle to take time. Even if the weather is bad outside, we have a treadmill and workout equipment. I ran yesterday morning and instantly felt an improvement.
- I am tired of unnecessary drama in life. There are individuals in this world who constantly search for the latest work gossip, family gossip or simply make something up to talk about. Each of our lives are complicated enough without dishing the details of someones addiction, affair or other problems. I want to work on myself and have the best life that I can have. There is a lot of positive in this world and I want to be someone who focus upon the good.
- Although I continue to keep a gluten and dairy free diet, I have simply been struggling with what and when to eat. This is a life long problem I have had. I have to have a set schedule with times to eat, otherwise I will not. I rarely get hungry (this isn’t a good thing) and often realize I haven’t eaten only after developing a headache. In the past, I have had set work schedules with time for lunch, snacks etc. With my new routine I am acknowledging that I need to return to this routine of putting meal times in my calendar.
- I’ve been off of routine of blogging and writing in my own personal journal. I’ve often shared that when I reflect back on my journals and there are expanses of time when I do not write that life is either going well or is not so great. Not writing has been another example of being off balanced. for me over the last few weeks.
- After reading Rebecca’s “Why are you listening to these people?” post from her Working Girl blog, it reinforced the importance of who you receive advice from. She discusses how she was receiving advice from people but the reality is, she didn’t want to have the type of life these individuals had. Each of us should consider this subject. I’ve often found it funny that there are overweight physicians or that it isn’t uncommon to drive by a medical office park and see the employees outside smoking. As a counselor, I’ve done and continue to do my own personal work and never suggest a client try something that I haven’t tried myself. Listening to voices that are unhealthy or pointing you in the wrong direction can very easily knock you off balance. I”m learning to reevaluate who I listen to.
Are you feeling balanced as we move into November and the Holiday season or do you feel the disruptive energy that is coming with the impending storm in Central Kentucky? Take some time today to become aware of how your life is feeling and know that you have the ability to make whatever changes you need to make.
