THROW OUT YOUR POISON

Good Morning.  The end of the first work week in May.  I for one am thrilled not to see snow and feel cold.  I am very ready for sunshine and warmth.  I love seeing all the new growth.  The leaves have started to come out, the flowers have been blooming and the birds sound as if they are having a party.

Spring is the true signifier of renewal and change.  The time to let go of what we don't need or want in our lives.  Today's quote, "Rid yourself of unnecessary poison in your life be it food, people or emotions."  Honestly the list of poisons could be much longer than this one but let's start with what I think we all struggle with.

Who doesn't know someone who complains about their bodies?  Food is nourishment, strength and survival but it could also be comfort and addiction.  With the change of the weather comes a desire to eat things that we might not want when it is cold.  Salads, fresh vegetables, fruit, grilled chicken, fish.  Our desire to eat healthier seems to get stronger when it is nicer outdoors.  This is the perfect time to take long walks.  The days are longer and the nights are warmer so get out there when you can.

Next, let us get rid of toxic people in our lives.  We all have those.  The "Friend" that drags you down, the energy vampire.  Know that you have worth and value.  If a person in your life is a true friend then they are there to support you and listen to you and you are there to reciprocate.  Everyone we meet is there to serve a purpose even if it is a lesson.  There are those who will be with us now and in the future but there are those who simply shouldn't be in our lives anymore.  It is up to you to discover the difference.

Lastly, get rid of all those negative thoughts in your head.  Those negative emotions that are wearing and weighing you down.  Bad things happen all the time, unfortunate events that we can't control.  Let it go.  Why hold onto something that you have absolutely no control over?  We know it makes no sense but we do it anyway.  Introduce yourself to something new.  If you've been curious about Meditation, try it!  If you've been wanting to try Reiki,try it!  Both of these modalities will help you move through negativity so you can get back to being your positive self!

Here's hoping

your list of poisons is short!  Have a wonderful day everyone!~Amy
