Getting Into a Daily Routine


Well NOT really a DAILY Routine...but a beginning of the day routine.  I have been able to stick with my B-Complex and/or B-12 intake since Saturday so far.  Since it's winter in the snow belt I have been including a squirt of Vitamin D Spray.  All of which are part of the MyKind Organics Line...all whole food, plant based, vegan vitamins!  

My goal is to go a solid month and hopefully longer this time around.  A Morning Routine will help me with this.  I figure if I am overly pushy about giving my dog his meds - why can't I do the same for me? LOL

I have been trying to sleep differently the last several nights.  I'm usually a side sleeper and I think this is catching up with me.  I'm trying my hardest to lay on my back now.  So far - so good.

I'm still not real good about daily breakfasts.  That's something I still need to incorporate, work on, and stick with.  The last couple of months I have not been real good at eating breakfast or lunch.  I know that is really bad.  Then I pig out at dinner to make up for the rest of the day.  I will snack during the day sometimes if I have something to snack on but it's not the best in terms of healthy snack sometimes.  Because of all of this I have gained weight back.  This may or may not have anything to do with my aches and pains but it's probably best if I try and do better about it.

I've also started incorporating Chlorella back into my daily grind.  Mostly Mondays thru Fridays - because I have them on my work desk.  I will probably explain this more down the road.  In the meantime I am taking those again, too!

Herb intake!  I've upped it!  I thought about blogging about it as I drank them if I was in front of the computer which I may still do but for now - yesterday and today - I have been enjoying Brain Booster from Urbal Tea and Ginger & Lemon Myrtle from Lupicia.  

The Brain Booster from Urbal Tea includes: Gotu Kola, Peppermint, Ginko, Rosemary, Sage, Eleuthero, Parsley, Lemon Balm, Elderberry, Hibiscus, Apple, Blueberries, Currants, Cornflower, Raisins.

By doing this I am also cutting back on my caffeine.  Instead of 8 or more cups of highly caffed tea everyday I would like to stay to ONE or NONE to see what happens.

I found a way to do a little in more of the way of exercise in doors at work while in the winter months...STAIRS.  Simple enough.  I think I might tuck away a place for yoga during lunch soon, too!  I'm usually the only one in my office.  Time will tell.

I also picked up a few new bras.  I hate talking about those but I will since it's a change I am making.  I will give it a few days or weeks before reporting my findings.   

So far many of these changes are for the better.  I would like to work on attitude, inner peace, stress, anxiety, and muscle pain more, too!

I've also been feeling a salad kick coming on!  I have been eating more of them than usual but usually when I get in this mode...I will go for a month and eat HUGE salads at least once a day.  

I want to thank Christine and Hilary for their comments, encouragement, and support!  Keep on me!  I need it!

Global LOVE Project


Last week I was contacted by the fine folks at Global Love Project asking if I would be interested in contributing to their website and ongoing project of not only spreading love to others but having love for ourselves as well.  After spending a LOT of time on their website - I knew this was something I wanted to be involved with.

Below you will see a screen shot of my very first contribution which is a Pomegranate & Strawberry Smoothie Recipe!  HERE is the LINK for the entire post!  But may I also suggest that you take a look at the sidebar on that link and sign up for their eNewsletter!  Just for signing up you receive 5 FREE gifts!  I'm very much looking forward to contributing more to The Global Love Project!



ABOUT The Global Love Project

Love is the ultimate healer and transformer. A cliche, but for good reason; love not only can change our world, love does and is changing our world.

Love lies at the heart of who we are, and a separation from it at the root of our troubles and pain. It is the common thread that joins us all, its unifying power dissolving barriers, healing divides, bridging differences, and uniting all.

The Global Love Project is an international platform dedicated to humanitarian love founded by Aine Belton to encourage a more united and compassionate world, with numerous facets, resources, initiatives, and inspiration.

The homepage serves as a map for the various elements of the Global Love Project, our individual site pages offering more detail. Our new site design is recently live, more info and pages coming shortly!

The Journey...

I thought this quote was PERFECT for this Blissful Yoga Journey Blog of mine. Inspiration and Encouragement...is what I need. “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” – Lao Tzu
