Lack of stress relief – What comes my way – Fear, Anxiety…

I am not in the physical condition I want to be in. I have no one to blame except myself. I eat too much of the wrong things and I do not exercise in the best manner. This has to stop and today is the next step in this journey. I am pain free. I exercised every weekday last week and took the next step along the way today. I stopped after eight laps as my shoulder started to feel funny. The idea is to get better, not rush to get better and potentially reinjure something. I have to control my diet. Too often I fall to starting over again tomorrow. After how ever many months this time, I still weight the same. I have to make the change and stick to it. No matter what comes my way, I have to eat the way I need to eat to be the person I want to be.

Fear, Anxiety… The daily devotional I am using spent a few days on this topic and I read them all last time I used it. I do not understand fear or anxiety and my ignorance is not bliss. I probably experience both of them and just pretend I do not and therefore do not really overcome them so much as stumble along in the dark. It is hard to help others when you cannot say you have experienced triumph over the same thing.

Lack of stress relief has been my nominal state lately. It probably is dominated by my poor diet and low levels of exercise. I doubt it is work or family or any of the things people struggle with. It is not that I do not struggle with them too, but my diet is likely the root of all my issues right now and the others are out of whack because it is. Pray for me to follow God’s will in this. 24 hours down, a lifetime to go.
