Quarentine for change

I have been on a journey for a few years now to change how I think so that I can change how I feel so that I can get the most out of my life every single day.

I have been struggling at times because of overwhelming feelings of things that need to get done at work, things that need to get done at home, being socially available for family and friends while appreciating each day and every moment.

Now we are in unprecedented times where so many folks are struggling in fear and/or sick.  Either people or sick with this virus or sick with whatever they were fighting before the virus hit or in fear of losing everything with the changes that have been occurring in our daily lives.

I have also have been struggling to focus and let the overwhelming feelings go and just tackle things little by little. I have been wanting to outline my journey in my blog and work towards positive change but that too has been overwhelming for me.

I have dreams and desires that I have not been able to obtain because my own thoughts and inaction are in my own way.

I have a friend that inspires me but also if I let it can confirm my inadequate feelings for myself.  But I am making the choice to look at her and be inspired by her and learn from her.  She shared her daily process and although I have heard things like this over and over again as I have been working on my own stuff hearing it and reading it from someone I know and am inspired by has a bit more meaning to it; or maybe I am just ready to hear and react differently to it.

She said: I make the decision every day to be grateful; I choose to see the good.  I workout; eat my protein; have my spark and vitamins; get dressed in jeans....NO PJ's!!! Work my day at home as required.  Take a daily walk and then PJ's and me time.  I don't think I just do!!

Make a list of all the things you can do at home and in the yard....It feels GOOD to get sh$% done!!


I could not agree more.  I need to make the choice to make it happen; turn off the TV and move forward every day!!

Stay safe and healthy.
