Transformation

Transformation

When I decided to live a healthier life, I knew I needed a mental transformation first. There had to be a desire to choose healthier foods and to increase my physical activity. When I finally made the decision to “change my ways”, everything else (eating more fruits and vegetables, less fried and fatty foods, increasing my intake of polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats (avocado, canola and olive oil, nuts, and increasing physical activity) became the right thing to do.

We all can change our status, and I have found that no lasting change will occur, unless we have the desire to change. We will make time instead of complain about how we do not have the time to exercise. We will buy and use the equipment we need to use, instead of complaining that the weather is not conducive to our change. We will make our health a priority, instead of complaining that we never have the time or money to change.

We will do what we need to do to accomplish the change we want to take place.

Tiny feet are what I wished for,
As I carefully placed the picture on my vision board,
I visualized a boy and a girl,
that’s all I wanted in this whole world,
to guide love, protect, and teach,
little did I know, back in 2011, it was all within my reach,
I still believe that children are miracles,
Even when I feel like I am going around in circles,
Never did I dream of a life so rich,
to have two pairs of tiny feet which
will always have a place in my heart,
In spirit, we will never part.

Artificial vs. Authentic self?

.Do you laugh at others when they make  mistakes (otherwise when they experience  life lessons along their journey) or encourage them to keep trying and not to give up. You trust that their missions are their missions in life and not yours, and it is okay that their missions/projects differ from yours.

You know that failing does not mean the end of whatever someone is doing.  Not getting things right the first, second, or 999th time, is a necessary step to get the result you seek.  You know that he or she is in the process of finding out what works and what does not work or what can be added or subtracted to make something better.  Think about what has been written about Thomas Edison (incandescent lighting system), and Walt Disney ( the first day Disney land opened).

2. Do you look to condemn others instead of sending positive thoughts their way and /or praying for them?  We are all connected, whether we admit it or not.

3. Do you want others to just do what you say and not be the role model that is needed to show them the way?  Your principles you teach do apply to you, too.

4. Do you seek relationships based on what others can do for you and not out of an earnest desire to build true relationships?  You try to build relationships not just within your own culture, race, religion, or those who look and act like you.

5. Do you look at the meaning of life as “everybody’s doing wrong” and life is not worth living” or ”nothing goes well for me”,  or do you believe that you have control over your life and by changing your beliefs and thoughts, you can change your actions?   Anything is possible at any age and at any stage in your life.

6. Do you look to compete/compare your life with others instead of focusing, visualizing, and taking responsibility for your own life’s journey and being satisfied with your progress?

7. Are you concerned with sabotaging others and their progress instead of embracing your own spiritual gifts , talents, and skills and how you can nurture and use them to be of service to others?

8. Are you more concerned about how others feel about you and say about you, or are you more concerned about your own spiritual growth and how you can be all that you can (your highest self)?  Your life matters!

9. Do you look for opportunities or use events to make fun of or call someone outside of their name, or do you respect the name that someone was given, just as you were given your birthname?

10.  Are you evolving to your highest self?

Heal within first,
