Bok Choy is the new veggie of the day. Tasted yummy steamed for breakfast along with brown rice. I added it to my fresh carrot-cucumber-parsley-red pepper-beet greens juice with a dash of PickaPeppa.
Everything was going well until...Chocolate Peanut Butter Haagen Dazs called my name while I was shopping. I bought what I call an infant carton; you know those little less-than-one scoop, over-priced containers. Can you believe this? I told myself that I was buying it for my Grandlet, Emory since it was his birthday. But...I knew all along that I'd eat it! Self-sabotage at it's finest! Love myself anyway;)
I ate it! No surprise there! I was, however, surprised at how quickly I crashed! Withing 30 minutes, I was passed out in my bed with a headache! Was I so unaware in the past that I didn't realize the effect sugar had on me? The answer is insignificant at this point! What matters is that I AM aware now! And...I don't like that fuzzy, lethargic feeling!
Stress! Not a huge deal for me, however, I sometimes wake up with what I call unassigned anxiety! I've been identifying my micro-tensions and the effect they have on me. More on that later.
The key for me is BALANCE! Since I LOVE my work, I can work for 12 hours and not realize that I forgot to eat, drink, move, talk, laugh etc. Until balance is second nature for me, I'm setting my phone alarm for every hour to remind myself to mix it UP!
I took a skills assessment test. No surprises there. What I realized is that I have many, varied skills but not all of them make me happy. I've decided to incorporate my own Bliss Skill Set into my work and find someone who LOVES to do the things that I am able to do but don't LOVE! I'm happy when I think about working with someone who also LOVES their work! I have that synergy with my WerdBerds business partner, Gwen! We work together like a beautifully orchestrated symphony! I am BLESSED!
Ending another prosperous, bliss-filled, connected warm day! I am not even going to proofread this...if I made any typos...please correct them in the comments box! No worries about grammar etc. since this is journal-style...Hugs and Blessings!
Hi Marcia, love the realization about how fast sugar can sneak up behind you and completely mess with your blood sugar and your whole body chemistry for that matter!! Like you said it will knock you flat. I can tell you stories :) I doesn't mean you will never self sabotage again, it just means you will be less and less likely to do it and will learn a little something every time. Keep us posted and love the blog! Deb Cyrel
