I've been observing something very interesting over the last (break up blogging) year. I have also decided that this is incredibly profound... for me! ... and maybe for others too ;) ... so here's the deal.... I have realized that there is only so much we can expect of ourselves. We can only do so much and when we have an extreme amount of inner resistance to certain things, then maybe we just need to accept ourselves for who we are and for what we can compel ourselves to do, or not do. For example, if we love to eat and we consider ourself a foodie, maybe we decide we're going to be okay with a weight that allows for this, stop beating ourselves up for carrying an extra ten pounds and just enjoy this important pleasure in our lives. Another example is saying "no" to things that don't make us feel good. Doing things out of duty and obligation takes a lot of energy and maybe at least some of the time it's better to choose an alternate activity that brings good energy into our lives instead. Just sayin' ;)
Blessings,
