The root of all disease is negative attitude

Daily I choose (well it chooses me) a healing card. It’s just a card that makes you think about something in your life, then presents a questions to ponder. I thought this morning’s was fitting.

The root cause of all disease is negative attitude about taking care of yourself. How do you define “taking care of yourself?” Create a new self cared practice today. Observe your comfort level when it comes to being good to yourself. Discomfort is a wise teacher.

Yesterday I decided to change my mindset about working out. To just do it and something better will come of this path I choose a month ago. If I have a negative attitude towards exercising OF COURSE I’m not going to do it. But if I remind myself of my goal and the positive of working out and pushing that damn play button I’ll see the rewards while I enjoy the sun and water of the Great Barrier Reef in December! I can do this!

I’m really concerned about my friend Sana. She dropped out of the 90 day challenge, citing that she just feel it. I know those that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, but she wasn’t really doing anything. She refused to do exercise, even when I offered to walk around the lake with her. She complained about the shakes hurting her stomach, she complained that it was just too low of calories for her. I was LIKE DAMN girl I hope I don’t sound like that. I realized that she just doesn’t want it bad enough. She’s happy where she is at.

But now she’s complaining that the events she liked about GP aren’t being put on the calendar, the dining out and wine events. She complained that all that was on the calendar these days are Oscars movies that she has no desire to see and exercise events. I told her that I had combined the dining out and wine events to girls night out events. That yes my focus this year had changed. She also complained that she just wasn’t connecting with the new girls. WELL YOU have to talk to them and let your wall down!!! I realized I was being defensive about her comments, and that I shouldn’t. Just like the challenge I’m not responsible for her happiness or how much she participates or gets from the group. I truly believe that you have to SHOW UP and give it your all to get rewards from any friendship. It’s a give and take. I pray and send her positive thoughts because I really am concerned about her health and mindset, but its her life.

I sorta have been missing M a lot lately. There have been a few times that I have wanted to contact him, but I’ve reminded myself that I’d be chasing him, that I made a goal of no contact this year, and that if he missed me at all he’d have contacted me. Says a lot doesn’t it?

Create a positive mindset about yourself and your attitude and you’ll see the changes with those around you. They either accept and grow with you or they fall off the wayside. It’s a shame but sometimes it’s the healthier path when taking care of yourself.
