I can't believe how much better I feel eating as a vegan. I've done this before but something has shifted this time and I've got clearer vision. Maybe it's because I haven't had that extremely uncomfortable over stuffed feeling. I get that when I eat meat whether I eat little or much. I also have a clearer mind, if you know me you know how much I need that. ;)
Today's Question: "Do you think change is good?"
I am usually a kicker against change, as in I change but I do it kicking and screaming. This change has given me peace and I don't really understand why. I truly believe that my focus on what I can have instead of what I can't has made all the difference. This is what I want. Normally when I fast I'm counting down the days until I can eat what I want again, this time I'm wishing I'd have committed to more and that's a huge change. The biggest question I have is could I do this for a lifetime. I think maybe I could if I gave myself meat holidays, seriously breaking my turkey on Christmas and Thanksgiving tradition would be too hard. Easter ham...oh my...and then there is that bacon I grew up on. Maybe I'll eat that on Valentines Day and Family Day...ha! Silly I know. My fear...which I know is the opposite of faith, is that if I eat meat once then I'll want it again. Decisions to change are often as difficult as the changes themselves.
This is what I know, if I want results I'll have to chose to change each and every day, and it will be a series of daily choices only I can make, wouldn't it be nice if someone else could make these dietary changes for us, in a painless way. Sadly, changes never manifest when they are mere dreams and that is what I'm doing now. My reality...one day at a time.
My Prayer: "God help us all to chose wisely making the most of each and every decision."
Be Blessed with a Beautiful Day.
