Its a New Year

Its been a year! Its been a journey! Its been a roller coaster! Its been joyous! Its been hard! Its been.....

You feel in the blank for what your year has been. We all could sit here and talk about the challenges its brought this year. But I'm tired of the negative. Negativity has been part of my life for a long time and its time for it to get out! I will share this the things that have happened this year, I have been learning and growing from. I'm slowly coming to a place of peace and moving forward. We can't continue to hold onto the past or the year 2014. We can learn and become a better person because of it. That's my goal to learn, grow, and move past it. It all takes time but its there. 

This year I have decided to take hold of my life for once. Its not in others opinions, thoughts, comments. Its in our hands and Gods hands. Things may not go our way still but things can at least be dealt with easier because we have the knowledge of what's going on. Knowledge is powerful! Use your knowledge to help you along your journey. Because in my journey its taken A LOT for me to accept but with knowledge its helping me move forward. So no matter how much you don't want to accept whatever it is, you can be more successful in your struggle just knowing what's going on.

I also started taking my own health more serious and started fighting for it for myself. It wasn't for anyone else anymore. It was for me. I was born to succeed not to continue  just being part of society. I began this journey in September. I found yoga, which has helped just center me as a person. I am calmer when practicing, I am happier, and my body is more lean. Its awesome! I love yoga. I saw a counselor for the first time in a long time. And I actually enjoyed going. Its always a challenge to continue talking about the same ole same ole. This wasn't her focus though, which was freeing. She wanted me to become whole and healthy again. It took me a while to really talk and become open. She was patient and willing to meet me where I was. But she brought things to the table that I needed to hear and process. And honestly over a month since I've seen her and I'm still processing. And this journey has been HARD. But amazing also. I'm learning who I am, why I act the way I do, why I struggle the way I do. All this is teaching me steps I need to take starting this new year to find more health. And I'm just starting this part of my journey. I don't know what it'll exactly look like but that's okay. Learning to be okay with that. Just keep on keeping on and pushing hard!

But I leave you with this: knowledge is power. That is if you can find it as a positive even when it seem negative at first. So knowing is the best way to make the next right step!

Don't you see it?
