Am I perfect? Not by a long shot.
“As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you”
Recognize the quote? It’s from Oprah. Say what you will about her, but I think she’s on to something.
Every day when we get out of bed, go to work, or spend time with friends we make decisions about what’s important to us and what will carry us on to the next day. I keep myself healthy by choosing to fill my life with people, places, and objects that make me feel good.
I also stay healthy by choosing to move the things that bring me down out of my way.
Simple? Yes.
Easy? Not so much.
When I became clear about who and what works for me, I realized that I needed to eat frequently during the day, sleep my eight hours, exercise at least three times a week, and keep in close touch with friends/family. I reduced my drinking. I tried to make my daily schedule regular. I avoided dwelling in other people’s negativity.
Am I perfect? Not by a long shot. But as I get better at maintaining these habits, I feel myself changing. Happier, healthier, more productive and better able to decide what’s best for myself.
