Simple

I have been thinking lately and the things in this life that are so simple are often the most complex. For instance, eating healthier. It is so simple to eat healthy until you start craving the potato chips or bread, then it becomes so hard to stay on track. Another example is Christianity. God Himself sent His Son to die on the cross for my sins. There is nothing that I can do to earn my way to Heaven, except to accept Jesus. It is so incredibly simple but at the same time is extremely complex.

I am learning not to be so quick to judge others as what may seem simple and easy to me could be complex and difficult to someone else.

Lack of Motivation

I am struggling. I am struggling with motivation for the following:

1) eating healthier
2) getting up early
3) exercising every day
4) getting my work done

I know I am not alone and even as I write this I feel confident there are other people out there who may have the same struggles.

I know part of the reason for my struggles is if I am not happy or even remotely satisfied in one area of my life, the others are affected.

Now that I have confessed I am going to list what I am going to do to make changes:

-you are what you eat is such a true statement. When I eat chips, mashed potatoes, and chocolates, I feel horrible. When I eat "clean" I feel so much better which then affects my attitude.

-when I rise early in the morning I am able to be so much more productive which boosts my mood and overall attitude

-when I rise early and exercise I feel better ALL the day long.

I have learned that what is so simple in this life are also some of the most complex items.
