They say that in life, we are never given more than we can handle. But sometimes it’s a matter of not accepting more than we can handle. Putting your foot down. Proclaiming, “That’s enough!” I read this tonight on Tiny Buddha and realized that this is clearly what i need to do - just put my foot down and say that this is "ENOUGH".
Enough with the eating out out of control.
Enough of not living in a harmonious home.
Enough of letting others walk all over me.
Enough of thinking that I am not good enough.
I proclaim "enough" already!!!
So what do I need to do? A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.... to reach the top of a mountain EVERYTHING needs to start at the bottom......
I need to redefine who I am mentally- physically and spiritually and today Oct 10, 2011 (Thanksgiving for those living in Canada) I begin.
I start with making the personal decision to start eating right - living right - and making those in my family feel my love everyday. I will be present in all moments of my life.
My goal this week
lose 2 pounds
spend at least a 1/2 hour with each child
take the stairs and walk every night
say I love you to my family before I leave and before bed (I often am preoccupied surfing the net and my kids are sleeping before I even get to them)
This is my starting point
