October

Good Saturday Morning!

It's finally cool here in Eastern NC!! Can I just tell you how excited I am about it?! It has been so hot here. It was almost 98 degrees yesterday, that's just crazy town!!

I want to hop on here really fast this morning and share what I learned this morning while doing my yoga. I use YouTube videos as a guide to get me started, plus they are free; and this video was on healing. She spoke many times on the mind healing the body. That is so true. I firmly believe that the mind can make you sick. 

Warning!

(Just gonna get a little real here) I went through a time where my thoughts were making me sick. Sometimes, many times, what we believe effects our minds. So if you believe you are sick you will eventually be sick. I believed at one time that my back was hurting and the cause of it was cancer. Simply because these were the things that happened to my mother. After being around her and her sickness I took it on myself after she passed away. 

This is why its so important to be aware of your thoughts. Any negativity that is around you, whether it is family, work, friends; whatever, it effects everything you do. Try to remove this mess (that's what it is) because negativity will mess you up. Some cannot help their situations in the moments they are in, but you can control your thoughts. There is help. Find a support group, a church, start exercising, read, journal. I did just about all these things. Does it get better over night?? For me, NO! but I stayed with it. It does, it will.

What I really want to say is your body is an amazing machine. So is your mind. Take care of both and they will take care of you. You are truly enough, your body is enough. We all have our junk and ugly we have to work through and its OK not to have it all together. Nobody really does. Some are just better at hiding it. But there is always room to be better and do better. I learned the most valuable lesson in Celebrate Recovery and I use still today. The definition of Insanity: doing the same thing expecting a different result. It's not going to happen. You have to change your people, places and things to expect different. This goes in all areas of you life.

I hope you enjoy your Saturday! 

XOXO,
