Never expect. Never assume. Never ask. Never demand. Just let it be. If it’s meant to be, it will happen.
I came across this quote on the Twitter feed this morning. Never a truer word has been spoken. Something clicked in me this year. Well in my head at least – the body is not always willing to comply (like today). This is time for me. I need to be the best the I can be. So I have started a grueling diet and exercise regime. This is difficult to follow, but the results are already showing, and my excitement is growing. This is not a new year’s resolution, but more a “the time is right now” type of thing. I am tired of fighting the system and getting nowhere. The time is now, the line has been drawn. And as I get more into the exercise routine, the more I remember the good times in the past when I was lean and trim. Half of me wants to lose 50kgs (yes, I am that heavy) and the other half is working towards a size that I want to be – the elusive size 16. I have often managed to get to size 18, but then something always happens and I end up putting the weight straight back on again.
I have decided that as last year was my year for freedom, this is the year for me and improving myself – not on an educational level (that never stops in the job that I am in) but on a spiritual level. I no longer want to dwell on the negative and let it get me down. I have to reduce the stress levels in my life, there is no two ways to that. The amount of stress is causing muscle atrophy at a rate that I cannot replenish, no matter how hard Dewald the Biokinetist pushes me. I am going to try new things this year and broaden my horizons. I am going to become more socially involved. I have learnt that I cannot cower in the confines of my little flat forever, as much as I want to. So campaign #sweet16 is in full swing – not only to get to size 16, but to grow my inner peace and my soul. This is the year for me.
The art of learning to live.
