I also recently decided to watch Crazy Sexy Cancer, my Netflix movie that has been sitting in my apartment for several weeks now. Yes the subject matter is intense. It's about Cancer. However, I took it more as a neurotic control freak (similar to myself) who takes it upon herself to actively respond to a crisis. She immediately changes her life to deal with this awful disease and in turn transforms herself. It was inspiring and thought provoking. It especially made me think about the way I have been living. My diet is a mess and I am way too stressed out but maybe not enjoying each day as I should. I am always grateful but not always present.
Last week was an emotionally trying time for me and I actually felt my body tense to the point where it may actually be able to snap. So this movie came at the perfect time to wake me up. My life is a bit chaotic, and not always in a good way. So I have decided to make some changes. Maybe move to Brooklyn to save money, but definitely make changes in my health. I have started with trying to cut back on the caffeine....I last about 3 hours. Oh well, maybe better tomorrow.
Secondly I am making Isa and I healthier food choices. I am in no way doing this drastically, but as the food in the refrigerator begins to slowly empty I am replacing it with better choices. I am trying to cut dairy and sugar out of our diet and add more grains and vegetables. I do not have the time or attention span to do things the "right" way or stick with any macrobiotic or whole living program. I am just doing what I can to actively be a healthier and lass stressed person. I am cutting back on the computer and adding yoga into my routine. Well, OK so I did yoga once this week, but that is better than I have been doing.
Next week I get a blender and will begin my new avocado smoothies for breakfast to replace my yogurt. Green juice in the afternoon to replace my coffee. Yoga at night to replace my Internet/movie time. Wish me luck.
