I’m trying to be a better, healthier, more whole-food eater and trying all sorts of things as a result. Salads in jars, more Thai chicken quinoa, date-and-peanut-balls, and HOMEMADE GRANOLA BARS. That’s in caps because – holy shit – they are delicious. It might be the coconut oil. And the dried cherries. And a little bit of sesame.
The other part of my better, healthier being is figuring out my sleep. Goal: In bed reading at 10. Lights out at 10:30. That goal has failed in execution more than it has been successful. The early bedtime was instated because I can’t. get. out. of. the. bed. in. the. morning. Ever. But really I just end up sleeping more because I go to bed early and still stay in bed just as late. Enter new app. It’s pretty cool and wakes me up within the best place for waking in my sleep cycle.
The better, healthier Lindsay is also – thanks to awareness from her counselor – becoming aware of her distorted thinking. Distorted thinking is when I am hard on myself, when I assess situations to be all or nothing, when I discard compliments I receive as not true. Distorted thinking is basically how my brain works so it’s being aware of my negative thoughts, turning them around, and “telling the negative committee inside my head to shut up.”
That’s my week, along with meetings, two-hour long pastoral visits [I need to work on leaving.], rain, and hanging with confirmation kids. How’s your week?
there's no place like gnome. 
Awesome site you have here but I was curious about if you
knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get feedback from other knowledgeable individuals that share
the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Many thanks!
