Choices + Change

 It's been really interesting since making the conscious choice to step back from work and spend more time resting the body, having time for the family and house, as well as getting ready for our new little baby. I have felt good in many ways, and restless in others. Almost useless. It's been strange not having a super packed schedule and running from this place to that place. I've been aware of how money hasn't been making an appearance in the bank account, and how I am kinda falling into some funny habits because of the restlessness. It's been interesting to have some time to think and reflect, but the urge for some instant gratification has been real. I've caught myself pulling out eyebrow hairs, overly extracting pores on the face, wanting to go shopping (but the energy and gusto isn't there), and eating sugary and junky types of foods. There have been good things as well, such as tidying up dusty corners of the house and letting things go, making decisions about things that have been taking up space - both physically and emotionally and having time to actually think, as well as move the body - I've been doing a lot of swimming this summer which has felt amazing. 

But all this being said, I am noticing some old habits kinda creeping in and I am utilizing this as a diving board to propel myself, and our household to a better, more clarified and loving direction.  I consciously attract more simplicity and fulfillment in life - a healthy, active and comfortable body, a clean, tidy and organized home, vibrant, polite and happy, healthy children, pets and spouse, supportive, encouraging and healthy friends, family and neighbours in our lives, as well as a life of purpose, ease, abundance and time, with dreams, goals and aspirations manifested.
