Life changing thoughts

Journey part 3

Life is a constant journey. Filled with changes, tough times, growth, and learning opportunities. I have definitely had my fair share of them this past year. Lately I have been working more on my inner health as well as my outer health. Focusing on how my thoughts translate into actions in my life, both positive and negative. I've always believed that in order to be truly happy you have to have all parts of yourself focused on improving and developing.

I've always believed that the attitude you have affects those around you as well as your own life. Positive people usually surround themselves with other positive people. People that look at the world and see all the amazing things in it and work to achieve those things. Those with a negative outlook usually are stuck in that outlook and surround themselves with people who feed into that perspective. Often feeling that the world has been unfair to them.

I also believe that the thoughts and actions you project into the world are reflected back into your life. Recently I have begun to learn so much more on how this is so true. It's amazing how every thought you have can determine your day as well as your future. It's incredible what can happen when you create a mind set of looking on the brighter side of things, staying positive, and re enforcing within yourself what you want and deserve in your life.

I've found some good resources that I'm using to dig deeper into this subject and I'm learning a lot of life changing information. I always had a positive half full kind of attitude but this information takes it to a new level. Re affirming what I already believed in as well as developing the theory of "what you think is what is reflected back into your life".

As I learn and develop more on this subject I will share some of my key learning's with you. I have started by creating a list made up of the characteristics of what I would like in life and what I'm looking for in a partner to share in that life. It is a constant involving and changing list, as I grow and develop and fine tune what those things are that I desire in life. As part of directing my inner thoughts I look at the list daily as well as think about those things that I desire and channel those thoughts into the universe. Even in just a few weeks I can see a difference in how I feel inside and my outlook on life, it's been pretty amazing.

Sometimes in life's journey's there are bad times and good times. When those bad times comes they are supposed to make you stronger and help you to grow from them. That’s easier said then done sometimes. When in those situations it's hard to look past that and find something good. It takes a lot of internal strength to move forward in life. When I found myself at that point in my life I often wondered how I could move past it. I had to dig deep within myself, as well as look for support from those around me. As my best friends kept telling me, things can only go up, there's no other direction to go, and that time would change everything.

After some time I did make it to that other side and life is once again amazing. I'm stronger then ever and I know exactly what I want from life. I have learned where I went wrong and how to change those behaviors and patterns. I am so happy where things have taken me and for those people in my life. I'm looking forward to the future and everything that it may bring.

One Lesson learned in my journey is people are right, things can only get better and time changes everything.

Journey part 1

As I start my new journey in life I have begun looking back on my life over the years. I feel like you have to take the experiences that you have had, whether it's good or bad and use those to grow from. As I move forward I want to make sure I fulfill all my dreams and expectations for my life. I want to live life to the fullest, laugh lots, and love with everything I have and have it returned 100%. What I give to others in life I would like to be returned.

Weekly I will be chronically my journey and sharing my reflections as I travel along the journey of my new life.

One thing that I have spoken very briefly about in the past is the issues that I have experienced with my body image and having an eating disorder. It started in high school as so often they do for young women. My struggles then continued throughout my 20's. My early 20's where when it reached it's peak. Through educating myself in proper nutrition and combined with exercise I was able to find a healthy and ultimately happier balance in myself. But I struggled with my eating disorder and the OCD tendencies that I had around food into my later 20's. It wasn't until I was about 28 or 29 that I really moved past those internal feelings about my body and the OCD that I had around food. As I'm about to turn 31 in just a few weeks I feel the happiest and healthiest that I have ever been. After so many years I feel that healthy living is 100% who I am and how I live my life daily.

I feel that I have found that perfect balance and that I shouldn't let others determine how I feel about myself. If someone makes you feel bad about yourself then you shouldn't have those people in your life. As I move forward I want to surround myself with people who love me for who I am and make me feel good about myself. I'm looking forward to having the happiest and healthiest years ahead of me to be enjoyed.

My personal journey

Since starting my blog Healthy Life a lot has happened in the last year. I've had a lot of ups and downs and a lot of struggles to overcome. Sometimes when you you think you have life all figured out a curve ball gets sent your way. I strongly believe that things happen for a reason and that our journey is carved out for us. We can help guide that path by the choices we make, but ultimately I believe a higher power, whatever that may be for each person, guides that overall direction.

Over the last year I have experienced some challenging health issues. I was lucky and everything turned out fine. I was ultimately found to be in perfect health. I also had some changes in my marriage over the last year. Sometimes the person you thought you loved more than anything in life turns out to just be your best friend and not your soul mate. I've had to overcome a lot of struggles and I have had to rely on my inner strength and the strength of those around me.

I really believe that my Healthy Life style is what got me through everything. It gave me the strength I needed to stand strong and make the choices I needed to make in my life. In order to continue on the path that I deserve. When times got tough I relied on my workouts to help center my thoughts and give me some peace of mind. I've always believed that living a Healthy Life creates a healthy mind and spirit. In the last year I have found out just how much that is true.

The sun will still rise and life will go on. I'm heading in a new and exciting direction in my life. I would like to invite all of you to join me on that journey, as Healthy Life takes on a new style and a renewed way of living life.
