Hello Healthy Habits! What I do when I'm blue...

It dawned on me yesterday that the person I was a year ago and the person I am now are different. I have grown immensely. In particular I want to take time to be thankful for this new development in myself. It has been gradually happening over time, but now I can honestly say the following:

I have healthy ways for dealing with adversity!!!

In the past my strategies have been the following:

-Redbull

-Cotton Candy

-McDonalds

-Burger King

-Bagel with cream cheese

-Alcohol

-Associating with riff raff folks

Now, my strategies lately (for when I feel blue) that grow stronger with each day are:

-YogaZone exercise

-Cooking

-Taking a walk

-listening to music

-dancing in my room

-reflective solitude

-reading / listening to/ watching inspirational messages

-Positive visualizations

-writing to my best friend

This post is my way of giving thanks for some new lifetime habits that have taken a long time to cultivate but that will be with me forever.

Meanwhile - I started to think about this beautiful poem I wrote about the blues last spring. I am working on the version of my present wintery blues and one day I will perform and share it on stage...Thank you universe!
