Journey to Me

Well, I haven't had much going on lately...

A couple weeks ago, I had a revelation about myself, just some unhealthy habits that needed to be changed. I am currently working on that. So here it is...I wrote this on Christmas Eve:

"I’m trying my best to take a healthy approach to changing this. I want to be a more open person, able to share my feelings and what I’m going through, be more understanding of others, as well as empathetic. I think that by changing my emotional process, I’ll be able to deal with the things that stress me out or irritate me in a healthier manner without damaging any of my relationships with the people around me. I just want to be a happier person overall and strengthen relationships that I have with my friends."

Everyone makes a New Year Resolution, so for the New Year or not (mainly, just in general) this is my new motto for just living a more positive life:

I release all feelings of negativity from within and open myself to everything of love, joy, and peace.

You are welcome to use that also if it is going to help in your own life. I was in church one night and it just hit me that what I need to do most is to just learn to let go of the things that aren't going to do me any good, which in any case would be negative feelings, thoughts, actions, and habits!

Results!

So I'm a little late on this, but I definitely wanted to share how my fast ended.

SUCCESSFUL !

I definitely think I accomplished what I set out to do and I got great results. My mind was way more clear than it's ever been, I was able to focus on school alot more, spent my nights more productively (instead of going to parties, I studied and slept haha), and the most important thing was learning moderation!

I believe that with a fast, you should never dive right back into what you fast from in the first place. Then what's the point? Not to say that I never party anymore, but when I do, I make the most of it, enjoy it, and do it less. With anything in life, good or bad, too much can be a detriment to your well being. So... I stayed away from it and now I can party less, still have a good time, and have other things to look forward to Thursday-Saturday nights!

It was hard at times, but I made it through! With faith and prayer anything is possible!
