A wee bit tied up!

I know that sounds kinky right? But I must apologise my attention has been otherwise diverted the last couple of days......all I shall say is that he has big brown eyes, face as cute as a button, a great personality, intelligent, a ton of fun to hang out with and oh yeah he's is almost ten years younger than me so I guess I am officially a member of the Calgary Cougar Club!!!! But that's all I shall say for now on that subject!

Soo how has my eating plan been, still good, I've back at the gym and getting outside to enjoy the glorious weather, minus today though brrrrrrr. I went to my Overeater's Anonymous group last night and it was so nice to connect with like minded people and have such an incredible support system around me. The environment you live in and the people you surround yourself with is so important when your wanting to make a lifestyle change headed to the healthier side of life.

I really like the analogy of the twelve step belief and that is, for your life to be in perfect balance you have to have an equal amount of Spiritual, Physical and Emotional well being, because when you have all these three things in order you are living life the way you are supposed to. Have you ever experienced harmony in all three areas? If you have you know what I'm talking about. I first experienced this five or six years ago and it's incredible you feel like you're constantly walking on a cloud of happiness, you have a spring in your step, peace in your heart and your life is bloody fantastic!

But, why do we find it so hard to find that perfect balance? One or two things always seem to take over, like your job, your spouse, your kids! Or all three and then you're totally out of wack! I must say since I have started meditating I have felt a lot more balanced, as my life just recently went totally off kilter! But I have been putting the effort in to get back to that lovely peaceful place I once resided in and you know what I think I'm pretty darn close to it again.

I think the main reason people get off kilter with the magic three (that's what I like to call them) is the absolute inability to put themselves first, why do we feel such guilt when we put ourselves first? I love the saying that Oprah has and it's "if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" and that is so true because if you have constantly put yourself last and having nothing to give, how on earth can you give anything good to anybody else? So if this sounds like you, really start taking the time to put time in yourself and make a list of all the things you want and all the things that make you happy. And everyday or every week or once every month take one thing from that list and bloody well do it!!!!
