Report Card time One Month!

Well I am one month in, with one month to go. I have plans to rework a few of my goals for the next month. Keep your eyes open for that tomorrow or the next day. It's Lent after all and a time of spiritual focus. Thus far my focus has been on my diet and exercise. Which has been really great, I think I have learned a lot. I am seeing some permanent changes in my dietary choices and listening to what my body needs and responding appropriately. Although I would still consider myself a sugar addict I feel like my addiction is becoming more manageable. My exercise routine has been lots of fun and my body feels good. I am loving body pump and hot yoga. Waking up early in the morning has mostly worked and feels like a positive change. I still need to work out the details on how to know when my body needs to stay in bed vs.  pushing myself out of bed.
Time to go inward and start working more on connecting with others and figuring out how to be happy moment to moment. This month I have been consumed with paying attention to how I feel in each moment and collecting data. It has been a crazy roller coaster of emotion, both positive and negative. I can be laughing one minute and scowling the next. In the upcoming month I would like to dive into focusing on good feeling thoughts and making positive choices to bring into my life gratitude, joy and more blissful moments. I want to catch the wave of joy and ride it as long as I can stay on. My goal is to try and stay in a constant state of joy for as long as I can. That might start with 15 minutes at a time or even 2 minutes at a time but I would like to work my way up to at least 48 hours of appreciation and love for myself and everything around me.  As always, I am open and excited about the lessons this month will bring.
