Follow Thru

There are two types of pain you will go through in life: the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. Discipline weighs ounces, while regret weighs tons. John Rohn

I am so out of practice of dedicating time to write for my blog and my other research projects. I got out of this practice because I lost my internet connection for two months and then I went through a period of questioning my purpose. I believe I needed a break. My hiatus was longer than I wanted it to be. 

Part of the reason it took me a long time to get back to writing centered around the fact that I was worn out with wellness, especially wellness that focused on my weight loss goals. I realize that I needed to expand my vision to include the many aspects that are wellness, not just weight. That is hard, because our culture is so focused on being skinny that we forget that being healthy isn’t just about the body but it is also about the soul and the mind. I want to include all aspects of wellness: mind, body, and spirit. My biggest desire is to get back to my writing and to dedicate myself to my life changing decision to seek bariatric sleeve through the sleeve. Spending time with God every morning is another big thing that I need to feel well and focused and takes precedence over all of my other goals. 

I chose the quote above by John Rohn because I know that not following thru is my biggest weakness. I aim to do better with my follow thru. That is why I have two accountability groups that I am part of. One I started that is geared towards those who have had or are going to have bariatric surgery. I call it Life Shakers, because it truly shakes up your life. The other is started by my friend and it is simply titles Wellness Works NW accountability group. I will share a link below if you would like to join one or both of them send a request. 

Be well, my friends.
