Daily Inspiration for August 7, 2010
Katie Jay, MSW
Stay focused.
Life is full of distractions. Your company is downsizing, your debt has become unmanageable, your basement has flooded again--the list is endless.
What is the one thing that would make all this worse? You know all too well. Being obese and ill. Certainly, life can hand us whoppers--challenges beyond what we feel we can handle--but most of your stresses are distractions from what is truly important. Most of them need to take second place to your health.
Action for the day: Are you allowing life's distractions to interfere with living the lifestyle (physically, mentally, and spiritually) that will keep you healthy in the long run? In your journal, write a list of the distractions that are robbing you of the success you desire. Resolve not to let distractions steal your resolve.

Very good post...and needed too!! For some reason I'm feeling down and unmotivated the last couple of days.
I went out for Chinese last night, the first time since surgery; I had some of the left overs today. I didn't get sick from eating it, which is good and bad, lol.0 -
uh oh...that was for ME! How many times have I said "I would have made better choices BUT............" (then followed by what happened that day that hindered me). Hello? Distractions are going to happen all the time and if I WAIT for no distractions to get healthy, then I am NEVER going to be healthy! never!
So.............. I'm off to the bed with my journal to make a list of distractions!
Great post! Keep them coming!0 -
