Because I have math anxiety for one, although I do love planning and making my budget, which requires simple math skills.
Mostly I chose this title because letters make up words and words make up pictures and I am a picture kind of person. So, letters GOOD, numbers baaaad.
I have often used the Yogi brand teabag tags for inspiration before. In fact, I find them to be thought provoking every time I open one. The message shown above was on the ginger tea I swallowed this evening in effort to stem the tide of a cold I got two days ago.
I work at trying appreciate the things I have, but I think I fall short of appreciating my own self which means honoring my soul is hard to get my mind around. But I keep up the attempts.
If you want to be inspired, there are sources all around us on every medium and from every genre. My favorites include the instagram writings and photos from Jade Teta, Meta Effect, Jillfit, and the blog posts by Marc and Angel Hack Life, Christina Rasmussen to name just a few. I cannot imagine a world without the inclusion of the internet to deliver the insights of these people.
Do I need inspiration? Oh yeah baby. I need it bad. I am coming off a three month layoff from my exercise routine due to two things: 1) Being married and in love with a man whom I love to lie around in bed with in the mornings(and the afternoons and evenings). And 2) having had a bad bout with shoulder rotator cuff problems which sent me to the orthopaedic doc. I was hoping against hope that this would not lead to surgery on my left shoulder after I had had the same surgery 2 years ago on my right shoulder. Yippee Skippy! I got Physical Therapy prescribed for as long as I need it on the left shoulder. I've been going for the last month now and it is better, but not 100%. Then again, maybe this is the new 100% for me(?) Anyone who is an exercise enthusiast will know that when you are laid up, it is hell. What do you do to fill the time- why eat of course! Jade Teta will tell you that there are two ways to lose fat. Eat less, exercise less. Or, you can Eat more, Exercise More. But there is no third way called Exercise less, Eat More, so there ya go. You can't have your couch potato life and eat it too.
Over this last month, the hubby and I have watched every Star Wars movie in chronological order so I could be brought up to speed with the saga and can now enjoy the latest episode in theaters. We are going to see it this Saturday when the tickets are just 5 bucks at the local AMC theater with reclining leather seats. So what if its 8:45 in the morning- we'll have breakfast and a movie, not dinner and a movie. Hubby says I am a cheap date which makes me proud.
When I watch the Star Wars movies, I am reminded at how visually repulsive the Jabba The Hut character was. Getting the mental picture are you?
