Welcome

This is a documentation of my journey seeking "my best self"
I am a blessed woman, 2 healthy loving sons and an abundance of all that one needs.
This is not a journey to more of the material stuff, but in seeking my passion and living my best life.
Due to illness, parenting, and busy everyday life, life has lived me instead of me living life.
The purpose of this journey is to turn this back one step at a time.
How will I accomplish this? This I will learn gradually, one thing I am sure of each day of my journey will take me closer to myself.

Blessings,

ETA: I am separated and I can assure you it is for the better. The boys and I are doing good, they are sad but at least they have some breathing space now and don't have to march to the beat of their father's drum anymore. I am more relieved than sad and feel freed from his constant state of depression and lathargic way of living.

Breathing excersises: getting ready for my fall challenge!

1 Do three sents of ten "Baywatch Bikini Breaths" That's thirthy total energy cocktails. Every day. It shouldn't take more tha five or six minutes eacht time you do a set of ten. it's a good idea to begin your day with a set of ten. That way your metablosm is off to a roaring start. You'll feel som much better and have so much more energy that you won't mind getting up a few minutes earlier. But if you should forget, don't beat yourself up. Just make sure you get them in before you go to bed. Remember, this plan is about ease, convenience, lowering strss. After meals is also a good time to whip out a set of ten. If at all possible, stand up when you do them. If you can't (remember the point is to DO them), fit them in while sitting in your office, driving the kids to soccer, or drying the dishers. Whatever you do, do thirty every day.

1) Stand up and say, " I am the greatest" - not only out load, but in your posture. Remember your body speaks volumes.
2) Take a long slow belly breath, inhaling through your nose.
3) Lock the breath inside your body and hold it for four times as long as you inhaled. For example, if you inhaled to the count of four, hold it to the count of sixteen.
4) Now, exhale through your mouth twice as long as you inhaled. Again, using the four example, exhale to the count of eight.


2 Take ten quick "KUNG FU BREATHS" before each meal. The key to health and a thin body is properly functioning digestive system. This simple breath only takes a few seconds, but it will stoke your digestive fires. Try to get in ten before every meal. If not ten do five.

1)Stand up. Remember these exercises can always be modified to suit your needs. Byt whenever you can, stand up and act as if you mean it.
2) As you inhale deeply through your nose, tilt your head back as if you are looking to see if there's dust in the chandeliers.
3) Pause for just a millisecond before ...
4) Exhaling forcefully through your mouth. Make a loud, definate "HA" sound as you bring your head back to its normal position.


3 Walk around the block (or for a minimum of five minutes) once a day with your mouth full of water.

I got these exercises from http://members.fotki.com/AnaisKarim/about she has amazing weightloss results so I am going to give these a try!
