I don't do anything right... Rambling thoughts...

I don't do anything 'right'... I eat too much. I don't drink enough water. I don't do enough exercise. Or I do the wrong type of exercise. I have mental health problems. I compare myself to others. I'm 5kg over my ideal weight. I slouch. I spend too much time in front of a screen. Sometimes I spend a whole day in bed or laying around reading, eating and watching TV. I can eat a whole bag of sweets, popcorn or chips. I rely on coffee to wake me up in the morning. I cry, worry too much, avoid things I don't want to face and sometimes I let my fears control me. I spend hundreds of dollars a month on alternative therapies. I don't meditate enough. I ride too slow on my cheap bike wearing my cheap clothes...
But you know what? My blood pressure is perfect. I'm not lacking any vitamins. I can cycle for 2 hours straight. I find something to smile about every day. I have a warm, safe house. I never go hungry. I have people that love me. I don't abuse alcohol. I haven't smoked in 5 years. I try to see the big picture. I'll give almost anything a go. I don't yell, grunt, cry or complain when a workout feels too hard, even though in my head I'm telling myself I can't do this, I persist and do it anyway. I volunteer. I'm a kind person. I'm always willing to listen. I don't judge. Even though I'm overweight, I've stopped caring about what I look like or what I weigh. I am free to do what I want, when I want and how I want. I am free.
