…well at least a bit clearer than I did before.
I just spent the better part of three hours brainstorming about what I wanted in an effort to gain some clarity. Three hours. I practically typed out a novel. Why so long? It’s not because I want a ton of stuff. On the contrary. I really do not want much. I began in general terms and got specific along the way. I got pretty far with a few areas of my life. Other areas still need some work but I’m very satisfied with the progress.
None of that made it here to the blog. It was just way too long. It was also a little too personal. I’ll eventually leak some of it here as the days go by. I’ll have to. This journey of mine will include many things from that brainstorming session.
This is also Day 2 of my raw diet. O…M…G! I’ve been asking myself all day why I’m doing this. The frustration was so high today it’s not even funny. First of all, I forgot to take my vitamins and drink my green juice. I think I’m coming down with a bit of a cold so I concentrated on green tea and lemon water this morning. I also forgot to grab my juice on the go once again. Doh!
I did bring a few snacks. A sandwich bag full of brocolli, snow peas, cucumbers, and other green goodies. I also packed a golden delicious apple. For breakfast I had two five minute hard boiled eggs. This was a first for me. Normally I over boil my eggs to make sure they are hard. I did not have time this morning. Five minutes was all they got in the pot. When I finally got around to eating them they were pretty good. Just a pinch of fresh yoke in the center. Not bad at all.
My water intake on my job assignment was not so good. That probably accounted for me being a bit light headed. I was also hungry. The Micky Ds across the street was tempting me something fierce. Lol. I was also very easily irritated which I did not like at all. Once I got home I settled in with some more green tea and lemon water. A big bowl of salad followed. My mood improved.
It’s interesting that my frustration is so early on. That could be due to a few factors. Not taking my vitamins or having my morning juice. Not drinking enough water throughout the day. Not packing enough to snack on. I will give my self credit though. I didn’t falter. I stuck with it for another day. Yes, I’m patting myself on the back. 🙂
With energy renewed I got to work on gaining some clarity. I had to chuckle at my little Aha-Moment. Not because I believe it is unrealistic or unattainable. Only because it is something that has been on my mind for many years now. I just added a bit more detail to it.
This is somewhere that I’ve been before. I need to stay focused so I can finally take multiple steps forward instead of several steps back. A friend defines FOCUS as Following On Course Until Successful. I say Amen to that!
