Introductory Entry

18 Feb

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! This is intended to be a place of inspiration, enlightenment, encouragement, and fun. Over the next few months I am going to be undergoing a series of rather intense changes in relation to my eating habits and activity level. I am going to be doing a lot of reflection in order to obtain a better understanding of exactly how much these factors have the ability to impact one’s sense of well being.

 

I am striving to learn as much as I can about how to better myself as an individual. I feel that in order to achieve overall personal growth, it is important to strive for improvement not only mentally, but emotionally, spiritually, and physically as well. I feel that a key factor in beginning my journey will be eliminating harmful components from my everyday life. What is the correlation, you ask? Well, I have observed that the decisions I make regarding what I eat and how much I exercise on any given day play a HUGE role in the way I feel both physically and emotionally. When I make poor choices about what I eat, I feel sluggish and lethargic and I don’t feel like doing anything positive or productive, and I certainly don’t feel like exercising! When I get out of the habit of praying and reading my bible, I don’t feel as spiritually enlightened and my overall outlook has a tendency to become negative and I just don’t have the mental and emotional clarity and peace that I prefer.

Beginning today, I am making the changes necessary in order to become the best, most positive, and most productive “me” I can be. I will be making one significant alteration to my lifestyle every week and I will continue to do so until I have reached a place of optimum health, mental and emotional clarity, and overall contentment. 

I invite you to join me throughout the course of this journey and to share your thoughts, questions, ideas, opinions, etc. with me!
