Part of setting up a natural health business is that I want to lead by example and be a walking advertisement for what I am 'selling'. All the information is at my finger tips and I know what I should be doing, where to make improvements or how to achieve my goals however the reality is often quite different.
I'm a great one for those night before declarations - you know the ones "Tomorrow I'll ..... - and then promptly forgetting them until the after I've reneged on them! With two small kids I often run on auto pilot rather than making conscious choices to go against my promises, which a source of great frustration. The great thing is that the time between 'relapses' into overeating, eating the wrong food, lack of exercise and general slackness is becoming less and less. I have become a lot more aware of my behaviour and the possible causes. I recognize my need to eat when ever the kids are 'doing my head in ' and the feeling of anger that can erupt if I leave things too long, way earlier and often before a crisis point hits. It feels great to have some control over my actions and therefore be able to control the direction of my life. It also feels like a huge amount of work!
I try and remind myself that it is all the little decisions I make which end up being my reality, unfortunately I quite often forget this too. So today I decided to write a reminder on a piece of card and put in eye's view so that I can have a little prompt when I need it. It reads 'The decisions you make each day become the future you live out. Take care to make the right decisions to deliver what you want." From now on I intend to be far more diligent with all those little decisions.
