Nurture ME - my mind, my body, my spirit, my soul

to a manicure & pedicure today. Well, one of my leaving presents was a voucher for a hand & foot spa, which I put to good use. :)

Love the pedicure.

And I highly recommend it. To me it’s a great lower body workout.

Triple chocolate cake with organic vanilla yoghurt and 1/4 pineapple.

Stuffed peppers and mushroom mozzarella bruschetta. Yummy!

Two quotes as a reminder to self:

‘You must bring yourself into alignment with what you are asking for. That’s what joy is, that’s what appreciation is, that’s what the feeling of passion is. But when you are feeling despair, or fear, or anger, those are strong indicators that you are not right now in alignment with what you are asking for.’
- Esther Hicks

‘You must make a conscious decision to choose happiness. Choose optimism. Choose to live in a place of constant gratitude and joy. Settle for nothing less than magnificence in your life. Your emotions fuel your energy, and your energy fuels your future.’
- Jack Canfield

high priority at the moment as I have the mumps. Feeling pretty crappy. :(

a pretty simple formula for the rest of the week and see if that changes something.

S – Serenity (meditation, journalling)
E – Exercise (yoga)
L – Love (meeting friends, phone calls)
F – Food (eating mindfully)

Back in a funk again… Just feel like crawling back into bed again in the mornings and am entirely unmotivated at work. I haven’t had a day off in the last three weeks and it shows. Working 5 days a week and college on the weekend just takes so much out of me…

At the moment I feel like crying and hiding from the world but the exam is only 7 days away and I can’t really afford to hide away for a little time…

Am feeling a little better today. Not as exhausted and lost as I felt yesterday. Maybe just acknowledging the feeling has helped~

Have to do something about this exhausted state though…
