Spring Cleaning of the Mind and Body

Spring Cleaning of the Mind and Body

I am trying to clean out the dustwebs that have covered my willpower and knock the dust out of the cushion of comfort from sitting in my pity. 

Time to make some changes just like the gardens that are blooming yellows, pinks and purples from the faded grays and browns of winter. 

Examine your Bad Habits:
1. What's the pay off? What do you get from it?
2. What's the trade off? What do you lose because of your habit?
3. When you look at it this way it does not seem like you are making good choices. Are you willing to "Actively" change?
What do you do now? Replace the old habit with a new one.
Now that you are "Actively"  aware each time you start to do "the habit" you have to actively chose.
Which do you value more?
It does not matter so much what it is as how you feel about it.
It should leave you feeling good about your choice. 

The only way to continue with a bad habit for very long
 is to sink back into denial of why you are doing it in the first place. 


It will get hard before it gets to be a new way of life. You will want to go backwards. 
You will get weak but in this "middle" is where winners are made. Wish I could say that I thought of that on my own but I heard it recently from Joyce Meyer and it was like she was speaking to me. I start things and never quite finish. 

Whether it gets too hard, or becomes less of a priority, or that I just start to believe 
that I am not worth it or cannot do it. 

 I deserve to win. So here I go. Time to shake the dust off and blossom.
