Day 1: on "happyness diet"- the anxiety-free life

So today unlike every other day I was very self conscious about starting this journey or diet if I'm allowed to say that. I know there needs to be a pradigm shift and change in the way I think. I can't quite make of what this is all about and how I should reprogram my thought but like I said before Im not doing it on my own.

I haven't hired a shrink to help me out or seen a spriritualist. I'm tapping into a higher power- God to help me out.

So I know you're probably like ok..? So how did you do on your first day?

The day started out pretty normal. The weather was quite humid here in the south and I woke up about 30 minutes later than my usual time. Did some Yoga and meditation. Didn't beat myself out too much when my meditaion wasn't as "perfect" as I wanted it. I belive now in something called patience and I'm learning to inculcate that into my life. I was pretty worried though that I wasn't going to experience anything that was worthy of my blogging about. (1st issue)

After that I watched a couple of movies. That can always be positive and exciting..relaxing as well. I then went online for the usual surfing.

So Im trying to grow my hair out and I usually go to this hair forums that give advice on ways to do that. That was when the anxiety and comparisons began. I began thinking my hair wasn't growing as long as others and growing a little worried about it. (2nd issue)

I quickly snapped out of it!! (good job!).

Then it became clear to me. I wasn't supposed to forcefully be happy all of the sudden. This like everything else will take some time. Changing my idealogies and theories on things is not an overnight thing. Not even a 90- day thing. But like Rome which wasn't built in a day, it was obviously BUILT!!. And so will my journey into living the life God has created me to live.

Lesson learned today- The mind will always create a problem for you to be anxious about. It is up to me/you to be conscious enough to get rid of such thoughts and truly find peace and harmony within your self.

My question though for today is how do you live a passion filled and ambitious life without pushing your self and being a teeny-weeny bit anxious? Can anxiety at certain times actually be a healthy way of living? Is a little dose of it good?
