Accept good things from the abundance that is life!

Life is abundant.
It's amazing.
Why then do we sometimes feel 'bad' or 'down'?
Why can't we "snap out of it"?
Well-being is our birthright, but we've got to want it.
Breathe, move, make sound.
Walk in nature ... feel its abundance ... and align with it.

Who cares?

If you don't care about yourself and your appearance,
It's doubtful others will, for long, unless they have to.
Why should they ...
If you can't be bothered?
It's time to take stock.
How do you want to be?
Are you sure?

Whose help do you need?

The gym I go to has expert, free help available all the time, which is great!
They're always willing to offer new ideas and ways to exercise.
Then I have to value myself and my body enough to follow their suggestions.
Generally, I do.
Though, returning today after Christmas and a cold, to three sessions a week was a little tough.
But hey, I'm worth it!
Aren't you?

What can you give up?

I no longer eat sweet biscuits and cake at work.
I eat fruit instead.
I also like raw veg.
Cutting out high-calorie snacks is the key.
Preparing raw veg takes a little more effort than buying fruit.
But it's worth it.
To be healthy.

Giving your body gifts!

Everything you eat or drink is a gift to your body,
'good' or 'bad'!
Feel good about all the gifts you give your body,
not just some of them.
They all count,
so weigh up each and every one,
before they become part of you.

Curious about calories?

A Pre-SI unit of food energy.
Replaced (really?) by Joules.
Each one becoming part of us.
So, how many do you need?
How big do you want to be?
Check the label.
I do.

Starting again?

So here we are ...
At the beginning of another New Year, 2012.
I'm feeling good about the year ahead, excited about my plans.
Particularly my resolution to continue to take good care of my body.
We can all be healthy, if we want.
We need to be careful though.
Trusting our ability to be well ... rejecting all that prevents this.

How open and vulnerable are you?

Are your boundaries strong?
Do you let down your guard?
Only when you feel safe?
Not a 'bad' strategy.
But are you excluding the unknown?
Which might be 'good'?
How will you know unless you try it?

Do you wake up feeling enthusiastic?

Set clear boundaries.
Don't worry about what you're missing.
Enjoy what you have.
It's a better way to be.
You can always move your boundaries later, if you wish.
Without guilt or blame.
Be enthusiastic, about your entire life!

Can you forgive and forget?

I stop those who intrude, and forgive them.
For me, the first is more difficult than the second - or is it?
The second is easier if I actually do the first.
Stopping intrusion is the key.
So let's do it.
Then we can forgive those who try to intrude.
Allowing cleaner more authentic relationships to emerge.

One step at a time

"Step by step!" - NbYp

Boundaries are great!

Where would we be without them?

"All at sea!"

Anchor yourself, wherever you are.

Then step out on the next leg of your journey.

Don't wait.

There are endless possibilities. Enjoy as many as you can.

Live and let live.

"Be responsive to boundaries." - NbSr

Boundaries exist.

Everywhere.

We need to feel them.

And respect them.

Otherwise damage will be done.

Our responsibility is to set and maintain our own boundaries.

Whilst allowing others to do the same.

Blurred vision?

"Create what's not there!" - NbPv

It's not there now.

Or is it?

Perhaps you can sense it coming?

Deciding in advance ...

Seeing in to the future ...

What you'd like to see.

That's how it can be.

Realize what needs strengthening

"Stand your ground." - NbGr

Boundaries can be crossed.

If they're open.

Weakness, like strength, is felt.

Realize what needs to be strengthened.

And strengthen it.

Apologize if appropriate.

And stand.

Grateful for boundaries

"Whenever two things meet ... " - NbTa

Boundaries

Whether strong or weak

Give us clues

About how to behave in situations

We can assert our will

Backing-off if it offends

Or we can dance, enjoying the interaction.

We define ourselves with these.

"Meeting and paying attention to boundaries." - NbHa

Boundaries abound in physicality.

What do we do when we sense them?

Respect them?

Attack them?

What we want isn't necessarily what others want.

Se we violate, negotiate or walk away.

What's it to be?

Reaching and crossing the boundary!

"Is there no limit to this?" - NbNb

The answer is No. I'm not going to stop my diet.

No debate.

I'm absolutely certain.

Today, having reached my first target, I continue.

Another 7lbs in another 7 weeks.

And the beginning of Phase II of my '7 Words Diet'.

28 weeks of clarifying my thinking, using 7 Words.

Crossing the line!

"Not bothered either way?" - YaNi

Our bodies don't lie.

Accept who, how and where you choose to be.

And what you feel about that.

If it's not OK, change it.

Into something better.

How will you know it's better?

Your body and your emotions will tell you.

Keep out?

"Appreciate your boundaries. Only from there can you welcome Yes." - YPTA

I'm grateful I only need my permission to choose what I eat and drink.

Permission considers and decides.

It's felt.

As contraction or expansion - fear or love.

Do you flinch or embrace this?

Is it intrusive or welcome?

Permit a different unfolding.

Repair is a gift that re-pairs!

"Following remorse, the gift of repair is release." - SRTG

Repair is a choice that reaffirms boundaries.

It's an energetic exchange.

It's a gift that restores balance and harmony.

It must be completed ...

... to the satisfaction of all involved.

Then and only then can repair re-pair.

Agreed?
