Hump day in every sense of the word!!
Not feeling great today ... woke up congested, sneezing, headachey ... so I decided to give my body a break and NOT exercise. Then on my way to work ... a migraine aura!! The aura is passed now and my head feels okay so that is good news. I hope it sticks because I have another busy day ahead for me.
Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragment yesterday. Much appreciated. While I am indeed frustrated with the scale and my body I am doing "okay" with it I guess. It is what it is and as long as I am paying attention and working on figuring out what my body needs.
As for my new business venture ... I have been taking your counsel and the advice of a very dear friend who is coaching me through this process. I now have a journal/notebook to keep all my goals, to do lists, ideas, etc. in one place for the business instead of random scraps of paper here and there that I lose!! I still need to gather my loose papers and consolidate them into the notebook but it is a first step in the right direction. I ordered some business cards on line last night. I ordered ink for my printer at home. I developed invoices for my current clients. I am still overwhelmed but I am working actively on breaking it down into small steps and also visualizing success. I'm sure I am not done bemoaning my situation so don't get too excited buddies!!
Oh darn ... time is slipping away ... gratefulnesss
1. Migraine aura gone and no pain in my head!!!
2. Business cards ordered and they look COOL!!!!
3. Friends who support and encourage me and give me a swift kick in the rear when I need it!
4. Cool, cool nights and warm days.
5. Cancellations which make my days less hectic!!
I do continue to work on being kind to myself. Good lord it is a full time job in and of itself!! But as I have said often ... this is a journey ... life is process not product ... I will never be "done." It is true of my journey with my physical self as well as my inner self. The lessons are sometimes difficult ... some moments are truly more enjoyable ... and I learn from all the moments. Okay ... sometimes with a lot of complaining but I am teachable!! LOL!!! Must dash ... have a great day ... I hope I can visit you later but if I don't please know you are in my thoughts daily!!

Carol,
Glad to see that there's no more pain in your head and that you love your business cards. Can't beat that. I'm in business for myself too (9 -1/2 years) so I know how much goes into it. Learning how to be kind to yourself now and not lose yourself in the business is wisdom. One day break from exercise will likely put you in a fantastic place for tomorrow.

How did I miss this ?? Glad you are painfree from the migraine. Very scary to think about something like that happening while driving. In your kindness todat be sure and remember how full your plate in life is...a very busy emotionally demanding job, starting thoughts of a new career, family commitmets which require significant energy...exercise needs, food mindfulness....you have alot of things to take care of every day. You are carrying a very heavy load. You struggle with poor sleep, hormonal issues, and migraines. Try to remember how much you are doing and how much you get done every day!!!!!!!!!! : )
