Healing through doing

Last year consisted of A LOT of change for me. It really was all about Transformation…. I moved from Chicago to Los Angeles, started Grad school, ended an 8 year relationship, and committed to a vegetarian diet (going on 2 years now). I also found Vedanta, an Indian philosophy that focuses on turning inward meaning really getting to know yourself and realizing that you are in control of your own happiness especially emotions. I recommend for  everyone to check it out. With all of this change and transformation came highs and lows, but I have learned so much… Now it is taking what I have learned and applying it. I can honestly say I have never been happier. Although it truly is about being happy with myself, it is true that like-minded individuals come into your life. With that said I have great friends who accept me for me and will be there for me no matter what. I hope my theme for this upcoming year is strength and steadfastness. I need to gain more strength and confidence to be my best. I’ve struggled with not knowing myself and self-worth so more than anything I need strength to not go back to that place. Steadfastness is so hard! I need to remain dedicated to my goals. I want to be teaching yoga within the next few months and really commit to a diet that consists of more than 50% raw food. Then of course grad school… I need to remain focused and dedicated so I can be the best occupational therapist I can be!!! I can’t forget about exploring…. I want to plans lots of trips like Joshua tree, yosemite, grand canyon, and a bunch of other places… Now I am just getting really excited about what is to come, but I have to bring myself back to here and now… I always get ahead of myself! So one last thing…. My theme must be to stay present (the hardest thing of all) “Be the witness” Much love <3
