Today I thought I would share a page out of my journal.

I free write, so it really is stream of consciousness without regard for structure or content. So please keep that in mind, if you would. J

This was written about two and a half months into actively working on my weight wellness. It is interesting to look back, and it is nice to know I still agree and still do what I was doing then. Do you journal?

I am not sure what to write today so I am going to just start writing and see what happens. One thing I find interesting and validating is that I have a sense of knowing that I will succeed and that I am on the right path. I don’t feel I will hit a wall because every step of the way I am only doing what I know I will be comfortable continuing to do. I am able to have increased awareness of what I am doing, why I am doing it, and how it’s feeling. I’m not concerned about what others are doing or not doing. Or what they may think about how I’m doing it. And I’m doing it all with kindness. It is so true that this is a practice – like meditation, it gets easier, more natural, and easier to access the truth. And the questions that I ask myself are:

• Is it close to how nature intended?
• Is it a decision of love and compassion?
• Is this something I am happy to do?

This is a practice in having faith that the next step will present itself. I also know that the more I meditate, the more able I am to listen and hear my inner wisdom. The same one that tells me to “just write”!

I’d really love to hear if you journal, and how it impacts your wellness path.
