Desire

Desire is a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome. The same sense is expressed by emotions such as "craving" or "hankering".   Source:  wikipedia (thanks, wiki)

Sound familiar?!

I think sometimes we have the most to learn about ourselves when we can straighten up our spine and tell our own voice, our own self, the very simple word:  no. 

Sounds easy!  And then why do we have trouble sticking to a diet?  Getting to the gym?  Saving money?  Because we like to cater to our being.  Indulge ourselves.  Do you ever find yourself saying, "I deserve this?"  Well, what you truly deserve is to tell yourself no and to learn about your inner desires (that may not be serving you any healthy purpose).   

So, here's your simple and super easy task for the day:  tell yourself no! 

Perhaps you told yourself no to one thing and then the next unhealthy option that popped up you gave into it right away with an impulsive yes!  That's not gonna be the process that works, you're going to need to say no to allll of the unhealthy options for a week.  Seven days in a row.  See where your mind is at at the end of seven days...survey what you've gained!  I'm willing to bet you've saved money and dropped a couple of pounds in that week. 

Sounds easy?!  It's worth your hard effort...so just say no!

On a personal note: 
I'll be done with massage school in March!  Missing my other half who has flown miles away to become a scuba diving instructor.  He's gone two more months.  I'm so proud of him that it makes the daily void easier.  Tomorrow is his birthday, I really wish I could surprise him with something fun, but Costa Rica doesn't make sending packages easy (or timely!).  Being able to visit him over the holidays was great, it's nice to know what his daily life is like.  :)
