I want to remember this morning's lesson, it was a powerful one. I woke up in a bad mood, back pain, stomach in a knot and just generally grumpy. Usually when I get like this I get out of the house and just move on with my day as quick as I can kind of like escaping from my own mind into my daily activities. But this day I was not granted such a privilege. I just couldn't get into a groove, things just kept happening that irritated me. Finally fully dressed, dogs walked, all the am activities where done and I was free to choose what to do for the rest of the day or morning or whatever but at that point all I wanted to do was to get back into bed EVERYTHING irritated me. I stopped and told myself to stop bickering. Just take the first step to do something and stop thinking about all things I cannot control or wish were different. Rather than allow things to irritate me I started looking for things that made me smile and feel good. My little dog sleeping on my lap, reading inspiring articles on the net. So I started to poke around on the computer and in looking for something to motivate me I found a really great reading list! It's not motivational materials at all but all on nutrition and cleansing. This subject I find interesting and seems to perk me up and get me feeling happy and motivated just reading about other people's experiences and what they are doing to stay interested and excited about nutrition. Many books on the list were new ones for me with the exception of the Gerson Miracle so I'm excited to share the list:

I'm most excited about reading 'The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse' as Dr. Dadamo talked about liver and gallbladder heath being very important for my Blood Type (Type A) in 'Eat Right for Your Type' I also found a lot of benefit from these other powerful nutritional books:
Alkalize or Die!' by Dr. T.A. Baroody
'The Body Ecology Diet' by Donna Gates
'Live Right for Your Type' by Dr. Dadamo
It's amazing how just getting on the computer and reading about positive change and healthy habits gets me feeling better and onto healthy habits rather than indulgences to help 'cope' with negative feelings. So I've been getting more involved with finding good facebook groups one of my favorites today was Juicing For Health at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/Juicing.for.Health
There is a whole world out there with positive and healthy things to share so it just comes down to looking for and focusing on what I want not what I don't want. Reading an article about "Let Go and Let God" brought me to the nutritional reading link, I could have just as easily read about the latest drama or something terrible going on but why seek these things out? I'm grateful for this lesson and I am dedicated to continuing my journey for knowledge and happiness. It's the journey that has been bringing me happiness after all!
