HEALTH - It's not a dirty word. Neither is Love.

Health.  My word for 2019.

Little did I know that when I chose this word, my life would do an about face.  Let's put this out there first.  Last year, my life was in the toilet.  I was sick a lot.  I was financially in a less than ideal position.  I was mentally at my wit's end.  I was emotionally a basket case.  I had broken relationships and a broken heart.

Why the Lord put the word HEALTH into my spirit I don't know, but I am grateful.  Since I did my vision board and posted it in my room, I have worked toward my goals every. single. day.


PHYSICAL
I take better care of my body.  I'm whitening my teeth at home.  I'm exercising more.  I'm eating better. Intermittent fasting has been a game changer for me.  I'm working on sleeping better now.

MENTAL
I let some things go.  No more stressing over things I can't control.  I didn't even KNOW I was stressing.  I am now calm and serene and less volatile.  Stress made me crazy and hard to deal with.  Not anymore.

EMOTIONAL
So many people pull and push.  I'm learning to go with the flow rather than try to be everything to everyone.  I no longer take the roller coaster of emotion. Instead, I ride a wave of balance. So. Much. Better.

FINANCIAL
Last year, we learned that frugality is the way to go for us.  God helped us learn some hard, but good lessons and this year, we are honing our frugality skills.  I am so thankful for His grace.

RELATIONAL
In 2018, I met one of the most wonderful person in the universe.  The problem?  We dated for a while and then something happened.  I don't know what, but it did.  We moved on from romance, but are still friends.  I value that more than anything.

SPIRITUAL
I love God.  I love studying His word and learning.  I am learning more about His grace and mercy every day.  I am enjoying our time together and the moments I get to pray in the car and meditate on His fullness.

How is my health now?  It's not perfect, but it's better than it was.  I've lost 31.4 pounds as of today.  I am getting into balance and can do more and be more by God's grace.  I'm pleased with the progress in my life at this point in 2019.  As God helps me, I will do and be better than ever.

Health isn't a dirty word.  It's a privilege.  I have to love myself and I do that by taking care of myself.  HEALTH.  The new word for LOVE.

Be blessed.
