I have decided...

I have decided....

I am tired of being so tired all the time. I know some of it is my own fault by not following a regular sleep schedule that includes enough sleep each night. I am going to work my way back into a good sleep schedule that includes enough hours of sleep a night to give my body and mind the rest it needs.

I am tired of hurting physically, so I am going to start taking better care of myself. For those who are not aware, I have fibromyalgia. It causes widespread, chronic pain; fatigue; and a load of other symptoms. When I don't care for myself physically, the pain and fatigue increase and intensify. The last few weeks I have been progressively hurting more and more. It's been taking a toll on me in many ways.

I am going to begin eating a more healthy diet, including increasing the amount of fruits and veggies i eat, decreasing the amounts aof fats and sugars i eat, and increasing the amount of water i drink while decreasing caffeine-laden drinks.

I am going to also get back to taking my vitamins and supplements the way I am supposed to. I can tell a difference when I don't take my multi-vitamin, my B12 and my iron the way I should.

Finally but most importantly, I am going to begin working every day to grow closer to the Lord. I've felt like I've been in a bit a wasteland spiritually lately, but one of my own making. I'm ready to stop wallowing in the nothingness and move back into my place at His feet.I'm also ready to take my relationship with Him to the next level through more devotion.
