How do you nourish your soul?

Where do you get your nutrients?

What nourishes your soul? What makes you happy? These seem like simple questions, but they are not. We spend so much of our lives pleasing others doing-- what our parents want, what our friends want, what our mate wants that we lose sight of what we want. It becomes as if we are on our own personal island and people are coming to vacation on us, but we never get rest. As we stand on the cliff of our lives, we have to make a choice to nourish as we meet the needs of others.

Recently, I have been reading excerpts of, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale written in 1952. That is right 1952! It speaks of simple message believe in yourself, have faith in your abilities and success will come to you. However, it brings up one question what are you good at doing? Many of us do not know ourselves well enough to answer this simple question and to make proper decisions for our lives. I challenge you to set your eyes on a goal, and take steps to reach it over the next few weeks you owe it to yourself. Nourish your soul as you nourish others.

My current goal is to lose 30 pounds by the end of the year. I have taken steps by joining Weight Watchers and committing to attending meetings. I have already lost 6 pounds. What is your goal? Share, share, share!!!! --

Today I change my life!!!

Picture taken in Auckland New Zealand
Today I decided to change my life and make a decision to focus on positivity and not negativity.
I am the person who always has a story to tell. Some are positive, but some are negative. I found that when you re-tell a negative story you give it legs to walk around and grow larger. every time a negative situation or story is told it emotionally pulls you back to that negative space and time.

We may not realize it but it keeps us imprisoned to negativity. Always pulling us back into the Abyss of negativity. We must break free of what ails us. Negativity has effects on our work life, personal life, health and weight. In the next thirty days join me as I transform my mind and body in to place where I want to actually hang out. Come with me!!! Make a commitment to consciously take a hold of negative thought and throw them and way.. We can do it Pledge to do it for a day, a week a month, whichever suits you and see if the universe will not bring you happiness and returns beyond anything you can imagine.
