For many of us in the Westernized world Easter is more of a holiday and chocolate festival than a time for pause and reflection.
And yet whether you’re a religious person or not, from time to time we are all faced with circumstances that challenge our thoughts, beliefs and very understanding of what life is all about.
I’ve had one of those poignant and life changing weeks.
So today I’ll leave you with the question I’ll be asking myself a lot this weekend….what do you really, REALLY appreciate in your life?
Sometimes we need a reminder to think about all the good things, as well as some of the bad, that have made us what we have become. Weight may be a part of that, it may not. What is important however, is how we deal with these reminders and how we chose to let it effect the way we live in the days, weeks and months to come.
The future is in front of us and focusing on the good is always a better way to progress into that future than wishing for something that has, or indeed hasn’t, happened in the past to be different in some way.
If you need time, make it.
If you need extra resources, dig deep.
If you need help, seek help.
If you need motivation, get appreciating the things you already have in order to strive for even better in the future.
Sending you love and light this Easter weekend,
Elizabeth
