5 steps forward, 3 steps back

Last night I was actually in bed and lights out before 11:15. Yes!

Tonight I’m trying to finish up some studying for a special project, it’s already 11:00, and I’m nowhere near getting ready for bed. Sigh.

It’s all directional, it’s all directional, it’s all directional, it’s all directional…

Increasing health and wellness

It suddenly hit me today that — In the midst of all that’s been going on over the past few months — some subtle but definite changes have been taking place in terms of my physical wellbeing.

  • I successfully released an old (as in pretty much my entire adult life) unhealthy habit.
  • I’m well on my way to establishing a healthy new veggies and fruit smoothie habit for breakfast.
  • I moved past my stubborn resistance and accepted the wisdom of taking medication to get a handle on certain health issues.
  • I scheduled recommended bodywork and massage appointments.

There’s still plenty to do, but “progress not perfection” is the mantra to remember. That, and “it’s all directional”.

I’m liking the direction in which I’m headed.

It’s all directional

Update time…

  • I’ve managed two nights in a row of getting to bed earlier (not “early” yet, but making progress).
  • Seeing a definite increase in length and depth of meditations. Yay!
  • My walks are getting longer (not “long” yet, but — again — making progress).
  • Have cut back on some less-than-healthy treats.

Nothing dramatic, but substantial enough to make a difference in my overall energy, which helps with keeping it going.
