Good morning!

Just a quick note to say good morning to you all!

For those of you who have accepted this weeks challenge, how is it going for you so far? Those of you who didn't yet decide to take on the challenge, it's not too late, there is a lot of week left to get i these 3 days.

Remember...do something kind for yourself today, even if it is something simple. Just take the time to do something that will bring you relaxation, joy, fun or fulfillment. Meeting our personal needs is an important part of our journey to a better self.

Have a wonderful day everyone.
Hugs!

So far, so good.  It was difficult to do the gratitude list this morning.  I have plenty to be grateful for, but fear is alive and well for me now and it kept breaking into my thoughts.  It's quite a distraction.

I already did something just for myself today - got my hair cut.  I'm losing hair now (3-1/2 mo. out) and so she added layers and went shorter to make it look thicker.  I like it, but it'll take some time getting used to the length.  

Have a great day.  Thanks for the challenges.

You are very welcome for the challenges.

Thanks for sharing your experience with it this morning. This can be really common to happen during this time. One thing this reveals to us is that we tend to begin our day with immediate thoughts of worry, fear, stress, etc. This morning practice helps break us out of this habit and really can set us up for a much better day. With continued use of this practice, you will get better at keeping the focus on all of the positives. There's a whole day ahead to deal with the rest.

Glad to hear you did something nice for yourself! Hope you grow to love your new style. To help with hair thinning, be sure you get in all protein you should, as hair is made up of protein, so thats the first place the body will hold it back from when there's not enough, as it is considered the least essential protein need by the body. Also ...try getting biotin. It stimulates new hair growth and healthier hair.

You have a wonderful day!

I had a chance to take a long hot bubble bath last night and relaxed without hearing my boys fighting, yelling ect.. It was nice. On monday I was able to read my Bariatric Center of the Rockies book about my surgery and what to expect without distraction. I also was able to join your online chat which was very rewarding. Today I am gonna take a 2 mile walk and relax and enjoy the fresh air. I know things can be stressful but I always feel like things have away of working themselves out. That keeps me pretty grounded and less stressful days. Thanks for all the support Patrece. You are great. Hugs..xoxoxo

Awwwwwwwwwww Shucks!!!!! Thank you!

Glad to hear you are taking the time to take care of you. The bath sounds great! So does the wal****ep on being good to yourself and keep reading your surgery book t get all the knowledge you can!
