Being Content

I haven't posted in a long time - just like I hadn't practiced in a long time.  Last Wednesday I did a hot yoga class in Corpus Christi and it wasn't exactly 'great' but I was content with it.  I was happy I simply went. 

 

I spend a lot of time wishing things were different - trying to change people, things, places, and situations.  Why can't I just be content - why can't we all just be content?  Let times roll and not look for the next step or next best thing?  Why can't we let go, let love, and move on?  Are some things worth continuing to stress about?  

It's similar to my fascination with creating a lifestyle change for myself.  I don't want to 'diet' - I want to change the way I eat and treat my body.  I want eating horrible foods to be the exception and not the norm.  Do I think I can go to total clean eating?  No - but I can try.  I have been doing well with the 21-day fix Mon-Thurs (for the most part) and then the weekend comes and it is off.  How do I strike that balance?  How can I be content on Monday with my decisions - regardless if they were bad - and not spend all day kicking myself in the ass?  

I guess the bottom line is to keep on truckin'.  Get back on up and move forward and THINK POSITIVE.  Don't let negative thoughts overrun your life.  (and, in the interim, I got to kick this cold that has hit me!).
