Transitions...

Transitions in life....where do I start with this one?!

I always find growth here--sometimes in my waist line unfortunately!  But always in character.  "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger"--right?

I have to tell myself that often in times of transition, otherwise I just want to throw up my arms and give up.  Getting frustrated or mad gives me no satisfaction so it's just a waste of energy for me.

I'm there....at said point....

Not a good time for it though...and shouldn't the new year mean new beginnings and bright positive light shed on my life?  Or is that only in fairy tales?  You know that mental frustration side effects else where too...skin irritation, headaches (DUH!), weight gain from stress, etc!  Who needs that on top of already being at a mental block?!?!  No one!

So why is it easier said than done to get out of our own way?  Because you know that we are only "stuck" because we keep ourselves there.  Is it our fear/apprehension dealing with change?  Is it that "unknown" that makes us uneasy?  If we knew what it was would we be proactive in addressing it so we wouldn't be stuck?  Or is it the addressing of it that makes us uncomfortable? 

This is the question(s) I have for you...and ME.  In points of transition how do we give/allow ourselves the ability to take the next step?  Our mind is a very powerful part of us--it controls our mood, our appetitite, our actions, etc.  How do we keep it in check?  That's my focus for the next couple of weeks--keeping myself in mental check--proactively. 

Because a healthy mind = a healthy body!

Until next time....

Healthy Holidays!
