I don’t know what’s harder sticking with a diet or writing a
blog? Both prove to be rather challenging. A blog requires dedication, time, and
preparation. A diet requires dedication,
time, and preparation. They are
extremely similar. At least in my life
they both are tools for me to be healthy and happy.
The blog helps me express myself during this journey. Much like a fast it helps me purge myself of
emotional toxins. It’s important for me
to have voice during this journey. By
having voice I’m sharing my story to not only help others facing similar challenges,
but no longer hiding. For years I hide my
story. By hiding the struggle it became
less real. It allowed me to live in secrecy.
By putting my truth to actual words and selecting “publish”
and posting the link to Facebook I’m taking the next step of sharing my story;
holding myself accountable.
Accountability is vitally important in this journey. Those that are aware will help me along my
journey like kindly strangers helping a lost tourist. When they see me going down wrong paths, they
can pull me back.
The trick, though, is making sure I stay true to putting my
story down. It’s important to remain consistent
to the blog. By maintaining consistency
with this blog I’m using ritual/patterns to keep me on-track. Remember diet requires preparation. Preparation requires time. It’s important that I schedule time for me to
do what I need to do. It’s important to
schedule time to make a healthy lunch, exercise, prepare healthy dinner, shop
for healthy food, and do things that help me along my way.
So today after dinner I sit here making sure that I complete
my daily preparation by writing this blog.
