I PROMISE

My wellness plan.

I promise to be kind and honest about my humanity. To honor every living cell of my body. To give loving care to my mind and be observant of my thoughts. To allow myself to take breaks from my mundane responsibilities and adjust my habits. To accept what I cannot change and to walk baby steps into the ones I can. I promise to hold myself reliable for my decisions and to be kind while learning about the mistakes I've made. I promise to let go of the past since it’s gone. I take deep breaths into the future, living in the present like the biggest gift we have. This is me now. I take time to write about my journey and honor my presence, my voice and wisdom. I organize my dis”orders”. I change my stubborn ways, the ones that are not flexible and kind. I take it one day at a time. I remember this is not a sprint, it is a long, long journey. I make time to be in nature and rediscover the tiny miracles around me. I call my family more. I show up for my friends. I share my smile freely and often. I also share my food and my blessings with strangers. I wake up in gratitude and go to bed in gratitude. I adorn my beautiful body and face. I also wear my good perfume or cologne, because today is a special occasion. I keep my bed made and my room tidy. I shower away my worries and let my tears clean my soul and let them slide with the warmth of the water. I hold myself a few times during the day, giving myself long squeezes and hugs. I hold my hand and remember I am not walking alone. I have me.

I cherish my meals and make a thoughtful choice of eating in a place that gives me joy. I pick the food that makes me happy and gives me the most energy. I listen to my body, my intuition and my cravings, because I know how wise my body is. I sit down and not rush and chew my food slowly and thoroughly, because I know my digestion starts in my mouth. I allow to eat all the goodness in earth. Man made and nature made. I can digest it all. I do not freak out or judge myself from having occasional treats. My food feeds my body, but treats feed my soul. I have fun too. I don’t need diets. I don’t need to restrict anything. I work out however I know best, and I enjoy moving and stretching my body. I enjoy walks, anywhere and anytime.
I take care of myself when I feel weak, and supplement my immune system with miraculous things. I believe in nature and in science. I believe in the goodness of humanity and the divine inspiration and guidance towards my well being. I allow professionals to give me advice. I knock on many doors. I trust. I trust. I trust.
I trust my body, it has my back. I trust the universe, it has my back. I trust God is holding my hand. I trust me. I trust others and their ability to live their own journey. I trust everyone has their own path and story, I trust they can manage. I believe in them. I believe in me.
I promise to take deep breaths through out the day, to root myself into the earth and stay mindful and present. I promise to be the most patient with myself. To love me as much as I love others. To love my company alone. To laugh alone, to feel peace in solitude.
Today, is the day, I make the changes. Today, is the day I show up for myself. Today I can. Today I am.

All my love, I got this. Signed: _____________________________
