I love and am terrified by horses at the same time. We were riding in the jungle by the beach. As the horse descended the root carpeted hill to the beach I became frightened. From behind I could hear the voice of the escort repeating to me: “trust…trust…trust.” It calmed me. I did trust and it was wonderful. We can trust in the journey. The voice is always there.

I’m actually writing this on Day Five as things have gotten a bit busy……
I learned a bit about trusting the journey and supporting myself yesterday and (as I sit here really wanting to eat) I wanted to share that here.

Isn’t it funny how when we set out to do something the universe gets involved(I’m sending back my second Blu-Ray player today–not wireless…ordered a third..but I’m still on my program).  These are certainly challenges when our shaver tries to kill us or a simple purchase becomes an ordeal.  I guess I don’t notice these things ordinarily but now…yikes!

So it came to mind that we really have to believe in ourselves and surround ourselves with positive people who believe in what we are doing and bathe ourselves in positive energy and Spirit!  It’s probably wise to keep our endeavors to ourselves in the early stages.  As I start on this Clean Eating program I change certain things daily!  What am I going to eat?  Are there some supplements that could take care of this or that issue?  When and how much should I exercise?  In part that is why I haven’t been writing about that stuff yet.  It’s all new and vibrant.  For that reason, it is also open to suggestion and criticism.  Suggestion is great!

But we don’t have to just take every suggestion to heart.

• What we do have to do is believe in our intelligence and the intelligence of our body.  As we clean our the body(remember?)  the mind becomes clearer.  At that point the mind starts healing the body.
• We could really have people around us who are positive and supportive of OUR endeavor because that is the endeavor we are within!
• We benefit from just bathing ourselves in positive energy and Spirit as often as we can!  Meditate! Nap! Walk in nature!  Whatever it is for any of us…..embrace and participate in our spiritual side.  This is the supportive side, the loving part of us that thinks we are just great!!!

It is a challenge and a bit difficult to change eating and exercise habits!  I don’t know about you, but I’m deciding to be gentle with myself, to let my foods and exercises evolve with me and to listen to loving intelligence!

For the physical part:

I came off my date night without a hitch.  I got right back on program. I had my first weight training session since I started my program and it went well.  My face feels a little drawn.  I’m a bit tired.  Today I’m HUNGRY.  But I consider those effects just acclimation stuff.  It will pass.

Peace and Bliss in the journey to all!
