Today is the 6th of January ~ this post is about New Years resolutions but NOT THE WAY you might think. Why not for this new year ~ 2015 ... Choose to love yourself exactly as you are ~ JUST as your DNA prescribes you to be. Eat right, hydrate and aim for reasonable, moderate, NATURAL exercise ~ (walk instead of drive etc... take the stairs) be compassionate with yourself and other beings. I used to knock myself out obsessed to become something I was not (but what the media told me I should be) ~ the first photo was the result of continuous diet an exercise (3+ miles and weight training daily) but that did not equate to what I was desperate to achieve... Happiness ~ Once you stop that lifestyle, your body finds its own balance, it always will. I found that my exterior is just that, my exterior. My physical body does not in any way define me ~ it took me more than half a lifetime to understand that. No more than changing the paint on a house causes the inhabitants to become happy ~ Happiness and health are a result of your thoughts, they begin and exist WITHIN you. Wanting to be a better you is awesome but happiness is not about perceived outcomes ~ allow yourself to make gradual changes and appreciate all that your remarkable and SUPREME physical body IS and can do ~ it is the most wondrous of biological spiritual super computers Choose Happiness this year (acceptance and gratitude of what IS, along with Love and forgiveness) There are those who would say that the first photo is a more desirable outcome ~ I have lived both and I disagree. There is something far more valuable and lasting in the second one, something I wouldnt trade for a million of the first ;) ~
