How do you celebrate?

When you think of celebrating what comes to mind? For me its traditionally been food 😆 Happy hmm let me eat some of my favourite food, sad hmm let me eat something to make me feel better, frustrated, stressed, hmm give me something to munch on, box of chocolates will do nicely thank you, even though things are now changing, like I am learning to separate my emotions from food, today I realised how enmeshed my connection with food has been, my friend and yoga instructor has taken me on as a challenge 😆 so after our brisk walk today he started saying things like eating salads one day, eating fruits one day, as he was talking I could feel the heat rise in my body, that would be my anger, the walls coming up, that would be my defences, my comfort zone being threatened, food has been such a comfort for me in the past, when all else failed, I always had my food, my first answer to try something new is usually met with resistance 😆 so I barked don’t touch my food, do not go there, for now I am happy to incorporate the eating lifestyle we were taught at STFF taking it one step at a time. For someone who’s in her head a lot its so refreshing to be able to feel my emotions like this as they happen 🧡

So that’s me during my brisk walk this morning, when I started I could not lift my own weight, now I can for a few seconds 🧡 and it feels great, I stopped using my lift, so twice a day morning and evening I climb 6 floors, today I beat my own record of 2 mins by 10 whole secs 🧡 , my attempt to break up my day 😆 , I now get its not about doing 2 hours once in a while, its the small things done every day that make a difference I was an athelete in school, today we jogged and brisk walked and my body remembered how to jog, I was enjoying jogging, it was meditative, my body found a rhythm of its own and I could jog more than I could brisk walk, the trick is in the breathing

So now I’m in the mood of celebrating and decided to do it with a thank you prayer to God, Grace, Her inside me, it is amazing how much guidance I have been receiving lately from Grace, my bond with HER and my absolute love for HER is just growing and growing, so much gratitude is here, thank you thank you thank you
