I couldn’t believe it!

I thought it was going to be a normal annual doctor’s visit.

The next thing I knew, my doctor was moving the balance more and more to the right. 

I knew I shouldn’t have wore my jeans that day! 

Removing my shoes, belt, and other items didn’t help either!

I don’t really eat much throughout the day, to be honest – especially when I’m in a zone to get a project done.  Food?  Full meals?  What’s that??

My day usually consisted of an egg, some avocado, and cups of hot herbal tea throughout the day.   Throw in some cereal with some coconut almond milk and air-popped, plain popcorn and that was my meal plan – go figure.

Add to that that I was (and still am) active.  I worked out daily, five to six times a week.  Go figure!

Definitely perplexing, right?!  I mean, this is the perfect combination to LOSE 20 pounds, not gain them!

I asked a friend for a remedy to drop the extra weight quickly.  They suggested cardio and clean eating. But that’s something that I was already doing.  Uggh!

Then, it dawned on me.  One thing was different, though.

The toxicity in my life was high.  Outside influences were closing in.

My brain space was being overwhelmed with a mix of committee crazy, family/friend dysfunction, energy zapping people, negative energy hovering commonplace areas, and more.

It was all wearing me thin.  I was taking on their auras and THEY were becoming my matters.

Who knew that negative energy could add numbers to the scale?!

This is when empathy can go awry (see our post on empathy versus sympathy – click here)

So I made a decision.

I had fallen off track.  Mentally, I needed to get back into MY lane.

A detox was desperately needed.

Persons were deleted from my cell phone.

Essential oils we’re alit daily.

Instagram handles followed shrunk.

And, toilet paper was stocked up.

I’m a minimalist and have been for many years.  Yet, I found physical “build up“ building back up!

So, I got back into my weekly “It Gotta Go“ routine for clothing, papers, supplies, etc.

I got back to listening to personal development podcasts and courses throughout the day. 

Sunday prep days were back in action. 

I stopped work-from-bed mode nights and refrained from having my cell phone in my bedroom.

In THREE DAYS, the scale was down 10 pounds (I checked it three times!)!!

Positive change extended beyond positive body changes.

I signed on new clients (including an international one!).
I connected with new positive people.
I reconnected with longtime friends.
My aura was refreshed.  My energy was aligned again.  I was back to my positive self.  Whoohoo!

Have you fallen off track?

Have you adopted other’s worries and issues as your own?

It is now April, the fourth month of a new year.

New Year’s Eve resolutions are probably so old school for you right about now.
