Hello Readers,
Every single day we are blessed with a chance of a new start and a clean slate to do things differently to before. Altering your behaviour and making a lifestyle change can set you free and save your life.
Some people are constantly spinning around giddily on a permanent merry go around, never wanting to get off. They think the grass is greener on the other side and expect others to sort their lives out for them when really we have all the skills and power within ourselves to change. One of their greatest fears is being forced to spend time alone, getting to know themselves. One of the signs of madness is continually doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. This mindset and attitude will surely lead to even more disappointment and an early grave with nothing much at the end to show for it.
Over time, I have seen and watched many people self destruct by living toxic lifestyles and doing nothing about remedying any of it. These people are often full of good intentions and excuses, and if you notice, their trials and tribulations are nearly always blamed on others. It’s always someone else’s fault, never their own. To listen to them talk whilst impressing their audience, they are always going to put a stop to a bad habit some day, but that day never comes, and then its too late because their bodies cannot tolerate any more poor treatment and so illness and degeneration begins to take place.
Its so easy to burn the candle at both ends, attempt to exist on minimal sleep, racing out of the house without even a cup of tea or coffee, slice of toast, piece of fruit or something to start the day, pile on tons of excess weight, smoke too much, binge drink and avoid even a little bit of exercise, still expecting their mind, spirit and body to function on all cylinders, and becoming infuriated when plans run awry. Over time, this behaviour nearly always results in ‘burn out’. People become ill, unable to focus or concentrate and end up in a right mess in so many ways as a result of their own self neglect, and then later asking themselves, where did it all go wrong? A lot people find change terrifying, but if they refuse to confront their demons, it’s inevitable that they will remain going round and round on the carousel of destruction instead of treading the path of enlightenment.
Sometimes it can take a drastic happening or a near death experience to wake up to reality. You can try to help someone like this, but if they refuse to listen, there is nothing you can do about it. But what you can do is learn from their mistakes and not make them yourself. From today, its all about self love, self care and if you love and care about yourself, other people will treat you with love, care and treat you with the respect you rightly deserve. Remember, you are what you eat, you become what you think about and you alone are in charge of your lifestyle.
Love and light,
Linda and The Lulas
