Its been a funny few months, i started my year with a great week on simple start and then yo yo'd ever since. Without making excuses, i have been in a weird place, tired all the time was the start of it, and if i am honest i would say i was probably heading towards a dip into depression again, if i wasn't already there. Don't get me wrong i don't suffer from it in a serious way, not like some people do, but i get low, everything is a challenge and a struggle, concentration is difficult to the point making a shopping list is hard work let alone going to buy the things on it. So weight loss went to the back of the agenda and getting through the week was about as good as it got.
After a trip to the Dr, asking for them to take lots of blood and check me out for any medical ailment that might be causing such issues I realised i was bringing myself down with the thoughts & feelings I was having. (Dr did give me all clear thank goodness)
Now to explain where I am going with this, I read The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne a few years back now and if you haven't read it you may think i have gone slightly mad but it all makes sense to me. The Secret is The Law of attraction, we bring to ourselves what we are, how we think and how we feel. So if i was constantly complaining about always being tired - then like a magnet I would always be tired. Its like the saying "Smile and the world smiles with you" or one of my favourites "Whether you think you or think you cant, your right". We have the control to decide how we feel and how we are.
So i told myself that i was going to turn this around with Positive thinking, and I have. I think you can do anything you set out to do if you just believe it. I wake every morning and sing to myself "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" then much to my son's annoyance I then keep going with the singing and occasionally dancing around until we are ready to go to work and school. Your day will go how you start it, if you constantly moan about being late or being tired then guess what ? You will be those things because it is the Law of Attraction.
We don't need to question how it works, we don't question how magnets work, but like a magnet we get back what we give out. We just have to believe in what we want most will come to us if we think it and feel it.
Nice brings Nice !
Thoughts Bring Things !
I don't ask anyone to agree with me on this unless you have experienced it first hand, but starting your day with a song and a smile certainly goes a long way to making your day a better one.
I am now getting through day to day on a positive note, occasional i dip but i soon come out smiling again. I have joined the Social Media wave of sharing my #100happydays on my own facebook page, and if something as simple as reminding ourselves of the things that make us happy can lift the spirits then why not. We can all spend far too much time dwelling on the bad, and BOOM as the law of attraction works we experience more bad things, so i am spending my time thinking about the good things, the ones that make me feel good, the ones that make me smile and i know i will have a year of good days making amazing memories.
My Day 7 was as pictured below, Hubby and I got back on track and both lost, 5lb for me and 8lb for him. That was Monday morning and I know i am back on the losing streak. I will be slimmer this summer !
I was a little sad that my run in the WW magazine came to an end, as other than i enjoyed writing for them every month, I also think it kept me focused. So on my Dolittle's Facebook page and my Twitter account I have starting my #100daysofww. Just a small way of sharing my day, good or bad i will record it for 100 days. It will help keep me focused and help me towards losing another 3 stone this year. 100 days will take me to the week before my holidays so great timing and incentive to stay on track.
Keep Smiling
