The Power of Daily Habits

As I woke up this morning, I felt light, rested, rejuvenated and happy to face another day. I reflected on other days when I didn't feel as good. I've felt tired, heavy, sad, wanting to climb in bed and not come out at all. What makes the difference? I am still the same person, but why does the way I feel about myself change?

It donned on me today that the way I feel today is due to my daily choices yesterday, and it is also a build up of choices over time. What I chose yesterday really does affect how I feel today and my future. Here's my example last night. At night, I often get to the point that I think about "eating one more little thing" (which often leads to another "little thing"). I didn't last night and today I was so glad!! My choices last night lined up with my real desires and I feel an inner peace with myself.

I have been living a healthier life for almost a year now. I made a commitment to myself to choose healthy habits and live them daily. With my focus on my long term goal of being a happy, healthy and fit person, my actions are in-line with my desired outcome. I don't need anyone saying "don't do this or don't eat that or don't think that", I already decided what being happy and healthy would feel like to me and my choices are governed by my desired outcome.

I am living with integrity!! My actions match my deepest desires of who I really want to be and what I can become. I am not perfect, but the majority of my choices in eating healthy, exercise and what I surround myself with daily, are right and with small consistent efforts, I will maintain a healthy body, mind and balance in life.
Optimal health is a journey, not a destination!!

Here's to another day on my healthy journey:)
