Distractions

I’m writing today and loving this blogging life! But what about last year? If you look at the history of the blogs there were just a few in 2017, and by February I had stopped completely. What happened? Distractions. Disobedience. Doing things my way and then wondering why I had no direction. What a difference a year makes. What a difference a year of struggling makes! Last year I had issues with money, relationships, sleep apnea, and my son. By April I had one foot in depression and was really tempted to throw everything away: my hopes, my dreams, and my goals, and then go back to the “vegetating on the couch” life I lived before my weight loss journey. In fact in terms of dealing with the money and sleep apnea I spent many days battling anxiety. My mind was just that cluttered with worry and stress. If you follow my Facebook page or you have read my book Getting Fit For Life, you know that I spent a few years working on my physical health, but last year was a fight for my emotional health. I didn’t realize just how many distractions had knocked me off center and catapulted me into a state of malaise, but it had. Last year I walked out of 2017 much more emotionally healthy and today I’m walking into 2018 excited about this new journey, a journey to find spiritual wholeness. One of my hashtags is #mindbodyandspirit, and now it’s time to nurture just that because it is from that healthy and whole place that I am able to express, create, and write.
