Birthday, A Day For Finding More Joy And Happiness Than You Ever Knew Was Possible…
by Andréa Albright
Plan The Perfect Birthday Party With Some Great Ideas.
Today is my birthday, but I don’t really feel like celebrating. I woke up this morning feeling down and gloomy…
Maybe it’s because this has been the hardest year of my life. After two relationship break-ups, and feeling more “alone” than ever…
It can ONLY be a blessing that this is the last day of my 33rd year (…few! I made it).
As I look back, I also see that this year has brought many, many GIFTS.
- I’m healthier than I’ve ever been.
- I’m more “at peace” in my body and skin
than I ever imagined possible.
- I’ve created the body of my dreams, not just in the way it looks, but how it SUPPORTS me and NOURISHES me every day.
It Wasn’t Always Like This…
You know what I did this morning to chase my blues away?…
Eleven years ago, I would’ve turned to french toast with ice cream to stuff down my feelings of loneliness and depression. But today, I went for a run through a park! Crazy, huh.
As soon as I stepped outside, I felt this surge of POWER and GRACE sweep through me. I felt STRONGER. Healthier. More ALIVE.
And as I ran to my favorite tunes, my ~breath~ started to DEEPEN, and my body began to “purge” all the emotions that were so overwhelming just a few moments before.
All the clouds of depression began to clear away.
I felt FREE, and I began to see all the AMAZING gifts that I have in my life. And at the heart of it all – there is the GIFT of this amazing body!
This body that carries me through the “ups and downs” of heartbreak and breakdowns.
This body that ~breathes~ LIFE into me every moment.
This body that never leaves me.
This body that is my best friend.
I can’t say that I’m completely free of all those negative thoughts that were surrounding me this morning…
But I can promise you that I’m NOT listening as closely to them anymore. I see these thoughts now as as “my teacher” that pushed me to go outside and go for a run.
Those Depressing Thoughts GAVE Me
A Chance To Grow Stronger…
I’m not fighting them, but I’m not obsessing about them anymore either.
Now, I have something else to FOCUS my attention on… This Amazing Gift That Is My Body Right Now!
Aren’t birthdays great?
