Well since I started trying to blog for 31 days straight, I have not made a whole month yet. But July is my worse month to date. I managed to post once in July and that was on the first day.
In all actuality, the last half of June and all of July haven't been terribly healthy months for me. I have not been following my healthy diet and have put 30 pounds back on. I have been stress eating for sure.
I also have not been following my morning and evening routines. No blogging, scripture study, nor reading uplifting books in the evening. No spiritual messages and stitching in the morning before work. I have not been packing healthy lunches. And I have been consuming lots of caffeine.
I have come to realize that I don't recognize when I am stressed until I start doing the old habits that I used to deal with stress. Eating and drinking all the wrong things, Binge watching sappy movies and shows. Spending lots of time on my phone on social media. Staying up way too late. I have doing all of these things in big way.
I know if I do my morning and evening routines I am more centered and at peace. Little things don't bother me. People's unacceptable actions (lying, rumor mongering, etc) don't affect me personally. So why did I let these routines go. Because I was tired and frustrated and I fell back on old habits.
Time to do better. One step at a time. One day at a time. I plan to dig out of this funk and get my ZEN back.
Wish me luck?
