I took a moment to pause tonight before rushing into my house, and I stood looking up at the sky. The sun had disappeared beyond the horizon, and all that was left of the light were electric blue and pink stripes, airy white clouds, and trails left by jet planes. It was so beautiful, and I felt so grateful for my eyes to see it with and my heart to feel it with, and grateful for the evening time and for the summer season with its late sunsets and the earth teeming full of life around me. I felt connected to the sky and the earth and my heart felt full and beautiful like that sky. And my spirit reminded me that it is alive and healing, and in fact it has been there with me all along, seeing me through all of the hurt and the darkness.

I am starting to feel peace again, as I have wished for so desperately during my down moments. I have brought it back to myself, and through moments like these, found that the universe is more than willing to help me do so.

I have been crazy busy the past few months, but that is no excuse for how I’ve been eating. I’ve been eating so much processed junk food and quick/easy meals that are horrible for my health.

What I need to do is slow down, schedule time for meal preparation if necessary, and prepare healthful, delicious meals. I know it will be good for my body and my general well-being if I do so.

I need to eat less processed food.
I need to exercise every day.
I need to avoid situations that make my blood pressure rise, and remember to be aware of this when it does happen, so I can consiously relax and deep breathe through it.
I need to take my health seriously.
