The Big Picture
I listened to the little voice today and it lead me to some wise blogs. I learned so much that I must share. I do not want to lose site of two important things.
1. Sometimes we need to step back and look at The Bigger Picture. What do we want for ourselves? The time has come for me to toughen up a little, stop acting like a child who just wants and wants and mindlessly indulges. I want something and my choices now have to reflect that future image. And so the bigger future and smaller me picture helps me to re-focus. This week I do not deny as much as I really ask myself if I REALLY WANT it and will ENJOY it as much as I will enjoy that future me I have in my mind. And yes it is a realistic one. It’s even more realistic then the one my doctor seems to think is okay. After all, I know my body.
2. Our choices now can make us sad and moody OR they can help us to feel good about ourselves. We Choose Happiness with every little choice. Happiness is not something that happens to others and boo hoo. Sure things can be tough, but every moment we have an opportunity to do something well or better. Tis a choice! Happiness!! This week I make a choice to eat more whole foods. This is for my well being and happiness. Must leave out the wheat for awhile too.
This is my guide for the week. Intuitive Eating is another guide, but if I do not follow the principles of The Bigger Picture and Choices For Happiness, then I might not see anything at all. These ideas are immersed in Intuitive Eating, but I needed to see it from the human experience. I have been walking blindly, but thanks to a wise voice in my head that I actually listened to (”go read this ladies older blogs”), I have some guidance and can see things again.
Must give thanks on this Sunday to a lady here named Stacey. She has much to do in her life and yet she shares here and inspires. Thank you to her and Buddyslim.
This week if I have had a good week (based on intuitive eating, these 2 principles stated here and general feeling of peacefullness), then I will have motivation that continues for a long time. I apparently am getting some gift from David too. I said I need something as I was desperate to motivate myself. Now a gift. But I wanted to find that internal motivation and in my search I found it. Brilliance is everywhere. Sometimes it just takes me bending over to lift a rock to unvail a naturally radiant seeking worm dancing like Stevie Wonder. (Just feel like listening to Stevie Wonder for some reason.) Other times it just takes me listening to the voice. The voice in my head that is more wise then the fear and the sadness that holds me back.
Turn over a new leaf or a rock….
International Rock-Flipping Day
Have a great day everyone. 
Wow - thank you. I am happy that you have found some internal motivation. I am also happy that something that I said made a difference for you. This is a tough journey that we are on - but I tell you - it has been a long time since I have enjoyed something so much. Seems I learn something new about myself everyday - right in the midst of success and failure - there is something to learn.
You said “Other times it just takes me listening to the voice. The voice in my head that is more wise then the fear and the sadness that holds me back.” I love that. Because I think ultimately what keeps us from reaching our goals is exactly that - fear. Fear is a powerful thing…but if we realize that it is fear and we can imagine what the worse thing that could happen actually is…it kinda deflates the power of the fear.
So good luck on your journey and if you need some help along the way - that is what is I am here for…we can kick each other in the bootie when needed…LOL
Jenn, that is so wonderful ! I hope you have a lovely day ! Hugs, Kimmi
Wait a minute, what’s going on here? Two of my favorite girls giving and receiving inspiration from one another? I think I am jealous and feeling quite left out!! LOL!! KIDDING of course, but it occurred to me that I am trying to get Stacey to come visit me up here and you and I have been talking about you and David coming out here…maybe we can have CanEHdian reunion, waddayasay??
Ok Jenn, this week is going to be a great one…do you have any specific goals I can hold you accountable to? If you want of course!!
Mucho love and tea cheers to you my friend!
Right ON Sista!
I need to take a look at the Bigger Picture. It’s kinda what I’ve been floundering around with lately. I tell you, I had rather be on one end of the spectrum or the other than in the middle just flopping about like a fish out of water, which is exactly where I’m at right now.
You always motivate me Jennifer. Thank you.
Hugggggggggggs,
Shan
