Roadblocks

You know, in life you will always have roadblocks on your path. Sometimes it is disease, injury, financial, job loss, companion loss, death, or maybe just a plateau in your weight loss. This has been a tough week for me, and I was at a point I was REALLY having a pity party, until a very good friend said “stop being a drama queen and get on with your life”. Now maybe I wasn’t initially receptive to her, but the words began to set in. It is so easy to over-react to people and situations. But we all have to resolve in our hearts that the decisions we make in life are forever, regardless of outside influences. The primary focus in my life currently is faith, nutrition, exercise, and a continuing commitment to health. Everything else, get out of the way!

So what do we do when these events occur? Well, first of all own up to our personal responsibility, change what we can, and vow to never repeat the mistake. And then learn to just let go and go on. And it is easier said than done, I KNOW. But really, what is the alternative? Because the one thing I have personally learned is negativity CAN and WILL influence your health. Is it worth it?

So I vow to start anew (again) with a new attitude. (Why am I thinking of Patti Labelle right now?) Want to join me?
