If I was able to pick any super power, hands down, I would pick Consistency. Yep, consistency. I consider it a super power. I am the furthest thing from it. I have the hardest time doing the same thing day in and day out. I sometimes day dream about being the type of person who wakes up at the same time everyday, gets in the shower, makes coffee, goes to work, breaks for lunch at the same time everyday, comes home at the same time everyday, eats dinner at the same time everyday- life is laid out, no surprises, same thing everyday.
Good or bad, whatever it is I am doing, I need to switch it up every so often. I believe the most successful people - not just in business but in everything- are those who do simple things consistently. With all my heart I wish I was able to do that. However, it is something that I just have never been able to do. So with this "new life of change" you can imagine I have had a few bumps in the road just trying to do the same thing everyday....like, ya know, drink lemon in my water, take a B vitamin, that sort of thing. Simple, so why so hard? Silly I know, but unless you are like me you wont understand that no matter how big or how small, incorporating something into my life that I. have. to. do. every. day. (especially if it's suppose to happen at the same time everyday like birth control, oh heaven forbid it!) is super hard! The only thing I have mastered in the world of consistency is in motherhood. I like to think I do it well, admittedly not great, but well. I am consistent in how I mother them is my point. I keep my girls on a pretty tight routine- Matt and I sort of felt we had to when they were babies for the sake of our sanity and it is something that has just stuck. With kids- consistency is something I can do. I of course have things I wish I did more consistently with them, but for the most part, this is one part of my life I can do consistently.
I know I have not posted anything on here for a long time. I wasn't as successful with my "life change" as I had hoped so I sort of walked away from all things connected to it. That's how I roll. If I am in, I am all in....but if I am out, I am all out. So you see, I stopped using oils, started eating fried chicken and oreo's and stopped blogging about it.
The good news about not being good at being consistent is that after a while I have enough of eating crappy food and being lazy and I ramp up for a good ol' fashion kick in the butt "eat right or bust" phase. And literally it's a bust if I don't. Busted pants, busted seems, busted ego.....Busted.
Someone told me about the movie "Fat, sick and nearly dead". So of course I watched it and of course I am going to try the juicing cleanse. I have my Mom and Dad in on too. Misery loves company. My parents are wanting to ramp up their health and I am doing it as a combo of vanity and a desire to change my internal drive, love, desire for all things processed, fake and harmful for my body.
I guess one thing I do consistently is that I always come back to try and live healthily.....at least I always come back! Here is to another round of health. Let's hope grace wins and I don't end up at the end of a cheeto bag again anytime soon.
