Still Not Slowing Down

So, I made my Facebook exit.  Check.  I have put in my volleyball resignation.  Check.  (I have to wait to see if they will accept it yet.)  I have been meal planning.  Check.

But.  I still feel weighed down.  I think now it's about hunkering down.  Not flitting about to every event and gathering.  AND.  Exercising.  Today is Saturday, and I have no commitments to be anywhere, so I am going to walk.  Then clean.  Then maybe ski or snowshoe?   I need to remember to nurture my body, soul, and mind.

My mantra has always been balance, but it's been escaping me lately.  I need to get back in the balanced groove.  Yoga was helping, but I haven't been for a few weeks now.  Walking was helping, but it's been cold again.  And so it goes.  I need a balanced life, but I keep giving in to the drama and yuckiness all around.  I need to clean up my act and stand my ground.

If I am going to sit and watch Downton Abbey, or let's be real here, American Idol, for an hour or two a night, my body better have earned it.  If I have raced around all day, I need to remember to slow down and read, write, relax.  To be the best me I can be.

Objective today:  Exercise and get some fresh air:)  Next up:  Get back in that sauna to detox.
