Things have been a bit rough the last few weeks- I think with the amount of stress that has been going on with me this year- we have had death in the family, very sick terminal close family members, my beloved cat died recently, stress with work, and my own health problems this year with gallstones and emergency surgery- it has really caught up with me and has affected my wellbeing the last few weeks- I have felt very tired and run down and drepressed at times, the exercise has suffered as a result of my mental and emotional state and the healthy food has suffered too (which of course just makes you feel worse and worse) So today I cam to a point where enough is enough....
I realised this morning when I was at the gymm- every choice you make when it comes to your health and vitality comes down to the choice of life, or the choice of death.
It sounds a bit dramatic, I know, but Ive realised everytime I go to the gym, when I dont feel like it- I am choosing life and the path towards health and vitality. If I sit on my bum and watch tv instead- I am choosing the path to being unfit, unhappy and unhealthy- death.
The same goes with food- if I choose to eat super healthy foods- fruit, vegies- the more raw the better- then I am choosing the path of life. I will loose the rest of my excess weight, feel more positive, have more energy- get closer to the goal I want for myself, however if I choose poorly- I make a choice for the opposite of all those things......
And so with all those things in mind- I look forward to making healthy choices for myself which will bring more energy and "life" into my life. Going to the gym, eating healthy food, going to tai chi and Wing Chun classes, experimenting with alternative therapies- reiki, accupressure- until I find what works well for me, all these choices turn me to the path of life and thats definately when I want to stay :-)
