I'm not quite ready for the New Year and all the new beginning, resolution, fresh start, goal/theme/word/mojo mumbo jumbo that goes with it. I tend to think it's important to set the intention though I find it hard to maintain through the year. A lot of blogs are showing me that folks are really working on this. Some are wayyyyy ahead of me on this. These folks have it together..or seem to.
And I've seen two Nutrisystem and one Weight Watchers commercial in the last hour. No , no , no. not going there.
Maybe it was traveling over the weekend and generally not eating balanced and properly proportioned meals. And with eating out of balance, and a lot of focus on listening and supporting my sister with her feelings and emotions, my own feelings and emotions were stuffed down and shielded. (like a tiny almond sliver in side a Hershey's kiss--my inner foodie put that in)
I drove back from Alabama today and listened to and sang with the soundtrack to Nashville over and over. Good stuff. And mindless nibbling. Therefore , productive and constructive thinking (and feeling)--not so much.
In flux, but I do want to be practicing good habits again. I can't set a goal/ theme intention or resolution until I'm centered. I can't decide if I even want to set those things. I'm just working on getting centered. then I'll move on from there. I'm also aware and reminding myself of what I should be grateful for.
That all being said, I do hope . I mean I really REALLY do hope that this will be year of peace and better health for us all.
Yeah, I understand, especially about being centered, mindful and grateful first... then moving on.... The pressure to join the club, try this or that diet, shots, or pills is enormous at this time of year. We who struggle with compulsive overeating are more tempted at this time of year to get on the latest thin-waggon, forgetting our need to feel our feelings and get centered. Yay you for recognizing the trap.
