http://runningafever.com Loving my life is a full, whole life thing. I can't just decide one day not to love my life. So how do I love my life when events make it seems unlovable. I think some of it is just down to habit and mantra. I used to think affirmations were bunk. Saying something doesn't make it true. But I don't think that anymore. If I say something enough times I start to believe it, whether it is a negative or positive thing. Habits are hard to break. We are built for habit. If you make something a habit it becomes an integrated part of your life, and then it becomes harder not to do it. Think about the big picture. When I think of my whole life, one day of some stressful things at work is not that big of a deal. It also helps to keep a list of the things I am grateful for, the things that are the manifestations of my love of life. Love is a choice, so make that choice. All I did was choose to love my life. A new workout plan. I've gone from walking daily to walking thrice weekly, to now taking a long walk about once per week. I've starting putting in cardio and strength training during the week. The cardio should help lower my blood pressure, which is still not in a good range. I also have a workout parter, which helps with motivation. I am getting tired of chili for lunch and I am concerned that I might be tempted to eat something unhealthy at a restaurant. So I am researching recipes to provide some variety.
