Hi ,
How do I tell you about this without sounding like I'm whining?
Or maybe things have been all effed up for you this week, too.
If so, then we're on the same page and I'll let you in on what I'm doing to manage the mess.
But you must promise to come by the blog and tell me about your stress-busting strategies because in times like this we've gotta stick together! I don't know about you, but the lotus blossom is always a touchstone of inspiration for me.
You know, flowering above even while standing in the muck below....
Hearts, hugs and lotus blossoms for all!
P.S. Welcome, welcome to all the new FitDream readers this week. Don't be shy and be sure to drop me a note about what you'd like to see even more of on the blog.
That goes for everyone!
3 G's to the rescue: Greens, go in, and get moving
Sometimes the only way out is right through the middle
Look, is there some kind of solar storm I don't know about? Can I
blame all this on a recent eclipse? Give me something to pin this mess
on!
Whatever the cause, sometimes it seems there's no way around it but to go right through the middle.
Yeah, I'll tell you about my mess and you're welcome to tell me about yours. Maybe together we can find the culprit. Deal?
And I promise to share with you 3 rescue tools that I put into play that are helping me out. Maybe they'll help you, too.
What up?
 Nothing rare and unusual.
Hard drive crash. Just when I was sure it would never happen to me.
Just one little loophole. My backup was my backup. D'oh! Unclear on the concept you say? OK, lesson learned, embarrassed, hanging my head in shame.
There went my Fit Quickies Cookbook images and recipes, multiple
video files, image archives...don't get me started. As a matter of fact
for days after it happened, I purposely avoided thinking about what was
on that little Seagate.
But the thoughts found me anyway. You know how it goes. 3 o'clock in the morning and your eyes pop wide open in anxiety.
Feeling sorry for myself lasted about 20 minutes
Tick tock. Time to see what files I can find on old computers, documents elsewhere...a process that still continues.
And 3 important strategies I put in place to help me cope and get on with it.
That's where the 3 G's come in.
1) Greens.
Knowing what a toxic and acidic condition anxiety can produce in the
body (and mind), I decided to alkalize in one of the surest and quickest
ways possible. I pulled out my Vitamix and made me a tall,
effervescent, healing green drink with dark greens, peaches, and berries
that brought my body into happy balance. I've got my basic recipe for
you here: Green drink resurrection.
2) Go in. Had
meditation taken a back seat in the bucolic ride of summer bliss?
Don't be mistaken, spending that time watching and being adds an extra
buffer that you feel all day long.
 It's one of those things quick to go, kind of like stretching enough during our workouts. But meditation deserves a lasting place at the head table.
3) Get moving. Always a healer. Reborn perpetually after a date with my muscles and getting fully present with the body, a workout is a standard first line of defense for me. When muscles are charged up, you feel like you can do anything, right?
Me? Still sleuthing out files on old computers, though many I
know are not to be found anywhere except up in hard drive heaven. And
bringing my attention back to the present, with so many projects looking
for their mistress. Looking to land in the lotus as often as I can.
How about you ? Is all perking along smoothly or is something
else going on? I promised to listen to your woes if you listened to
mine. Tell me all about your lotus-making stress-protection strategies 'leave a reply' on the blog.
