During the last few weeks, the lifestyle changes I committed to for the New Year have brought about a great feeling: abundance. I literally looked in the closets of my house and found what I need. Despite the fact that I consider myself organized, I didn't realize how much was actually in there.
Lifestyle changes must take on a realistic expectation for long-term success. For example, I committed to drinking more water and less prepared beverages other than tea. The result: my pants are slightly looser and I don't feel too bubbly inside (i.e. I am bubbly but it's coming from my heart instead of my stomach if you know what I mean).
George and I discovered the joy of splitting meals during our last few dates and found out it was just enough food to feel sated. I'm working so much now (3 part time jobs!) that I'm never home to watch cable so that was easy enough to cancel.
The frustration I felt a few weeks ago at the lack of work at my second job spurred me to use that same skill set in another capacity. Now I've launched a small tutoring service as well as joined the stringer staff of a local paper.
The emotional help I needed has continued to buoy me and the shame that literally made me shake is starting to ebb. My fear of the future is minimized and my hope is now an abundant spring from which I draw extra measures of joy.
