Day 6

-
It's almost been a full week and I'm still going strong! Yesterday when I got off of work I ate a few boiled eggs and pork sausage patties. I'm starting to crave sweets more so I drank a little bit of the strawberry, banana smoothie I had made the day before. That satisfied my sweet tooth and I was good until lunch time. My husband woke me up saying he had a surprise from my favorite spot, The Jerk Shop! I cringed when I heard those words. He knows good and well how I love those Jerk egg-rolls and everything else they cook so why on Earth would he tempt me like this? He placed the bag near me and I got up and went to wash my hands and refill my thermos with ice water. When I got back, he was checking the orders to see which was his, which was a good sign because we usually would get the same meals before my lifestyle change. I opened my container and smiled from ear to ear at the jerk steak salad that was before me. They hooked me up! It had everything, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers,eggs, Jerk steak, shredded cheese and Italian dressing. The cheese and Italian dressing aren't Paleo but I let that slide this once until my shipment of my favorite dressing comes in. He didn't know I'm not eating cheese either so he'll get it right the next time. That salad was delicious and filling. I had a few strawberries afterwards and washed it all down with icy cold water. Full and happy, I did the usual of sleeping until time to get up and go to work, grabbed my boiled eggs to eat while at work and a few strawberries and I was on my way.

Being Productive and Safe

With the uncertainty of when our lives will return to normal looming overhead, we have to prepare for the what ifs. The initial shock has worn off and its time to kick into high gear and formulate plans that will bring in extra streams of income. What are some of your interests? You may enjoy writing as I do, you may have a wealth of knowledge about a specific subject and can charge for consultations. How about running your own business where the investment to start is minimal? The first step is figuring out what you're good at and then you can brainstorm how to bring your idea into a moneymaking opportunity. There are plenty of companies recruiting for everything from selling CBD products to being a credit referral agent. There's definitely a wide range of companies to choose from. You have to read all of the fine print and ask questions to see which company would be a good fit for you. Once you join a company, familiarize yourself with the products and services being offere...

MOVING RIGHT ALONG

-
If you do the same things day after day, you'll get the same results day after day. I've always heard people say this all throughout my life but never paid much attention to those words until now. As I went into work night after night, year after year without any significant changes in my life (other than the rapid decline of my health), I knew something had to give. I became angry and hard to get along with. When my off days were up and I was due to go back to work my entire demeanor changed, my husband knew exactly what was wrong with me everytime it would happen. He knew to steer clear of me and not to say too much. Peace was non existent, I was down right miserable with my life. I used to jokingly say, "my regular job is stopping me from pursuing my dreams". Although it was said jokingly, this was the honest truth. I was too tired and run down from working to pursue what my passion was. Feeling suffocated by life, I started having anxiety attacks and crying spells...

SITTING STILL

-
Have you ever felt like there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done? That's how I'm feeling these days. While I do realize there has to be a healthy balance to working, sleeping, family time etc., I also have the drive to continue on pushing myself when I should be getting rest. Ahh if I could just snap my fingers and my thoughts became a reality, that would be a dream come true for sure! I'm appreciating the process though of learning what works and what doesn't. I'm learning more about myself each day by sitting still. By sitting still I mean, taking time out of my day to sit in  silence, relax and reflect upon yesterday. While reflecting upon yesterday, I'm paying close attention to how I felt. If I'm not liking how I felt yesterday, I brainstorm what I can do today to make things better than yesterday. Sitting still in silence was a struggle for me at first. Feelings of guilt and anxiety crept in and I had to figure out why. I was so use...
