Gratefulness
Sometimes life moves at a pace I am not comfortable with. Bills are due before I am ready to pay them, relationships crumble when I thought I needed that situation the most, my kids grow too fast and I don’t feel like I am old enough to have a 14 year old son- but I am old enough. Time has a way of escaping you. No matter what happens, time keeps moving whether you are ready or not.
What does this topic has to do with my low carb lifestyle? Absolutely everything. I go to therapy. Regardless if I am in a fantastic place in my life or a challenging place in my life I go to therapy. Therapy has helped me understand that being gracious will lead to a comfort deep inside that is irreplaceable and indispensable. Food can be a crutch of dealing with deep rooted emotions. I have to face that life can be stressful and significant down to the root cause of my emotions then heal myself from there.
Every morning I wake up I am purposely lying in bed for a couple of extra minutes thinking about the people and moments in my life I am grateful for. Being grateful for the experiences I have had and the people I have been able to share my life with has brought me so much joy.
