The last few weeks have been very challenging, emotionally and mentally. I've been battling negative thoughts, harboring resentment, and the like. My temper has been short, at best. My compassion seems to have taken a sabbatical. I have not been caring for the big girls in the way I know I have been called to do. I have most definitely been unkind and unforgiving to myself and my body. This only perpetuates a cycle of emotional and mental lows, resentment, and a kind of care that my girls do not deserve. Just yesterday I told my sister that I felt like I was intentionally poisoning myself by what I was feeding my body. Not with actual poison control poison. ;) In the last day or so I have been asking The Lord to help me find joy again. I have asked Him to deal with my negative thoughts. Two nights ago I decided to embark on a healthier way to eat; one that should help restore me physically which will no doubt help with the emotional component. For the first time, last night, I asked The Lord to help me take better care of myself. Of course self care and good health both emotionally and physically won't change on a dime. It has just been one day of a new way of thinking about how I nourish my body and I had a headache all day. Of course! Ha! But my entire being needs it and deserves it. My children and my husband deserve a healthy (body, mind, and soul) mom and wife.
