Day 16: A Breakthrough.

Today I was able to meet my goal of waking at 6:30 for the first time since starting this plan. I have to thank my little guy for that, as he was the one who pulled me out of bed. I started to head back into my cozy bed and thought, "No, stay up Shawna" and so I did. It's been a great morning of reading and reflection. My whole life I have believed I was not a morning person, when in reality I LOVE mornings. So quiet, peaceful and introspective - a little piece of the day just for me. When I nourish myself in this way, I have so much more to give my family when they awake.

A realization about knocked me over this morning. I subscribe to the philosophy that whatever is true in your mind is the truth in your reality. All of your attention goes into that belief and creates your experience of the world. My truth, my belief,  for a long time has been that I like to study nutrition and food - but I hate spending time on it. I am at conflict with food and so the messages I put out and recieve about food are fuzzy and at war with one another. No wonder I have been in a moodiness limbo the last week. I have been putting all of this energy toward food, which I think I hate - which creates unease.

Food is nourishment for mind, body and soul. I truly LOVE food and believe in it's powers to tranform ones health - to transform my health. And so really, I enjoy planning shopping, cooking, and especially eating all of this nutrious and healthy food. I was just clinging to an old story. What is perfect about being diagnosed right now is that I am blessed and privelaged to have the time to set a foundation of healthiness to buld my family and career upon - how great is that!

It's been another busy one friends and I am about to keel over - my eyes are burning and I suspect a cold coming on....tonight I pray for rest, strength, and health as I sleep.
