5kg in 4weeks Challenge - Day 3, Week 1

FOOD:

Diary - Here!

The adjustment hasn't had much of an impact at all which is great on one hand and not so much on the other, but its still early days and from past experience it sometimes takes a few days to kick in properly.

EXERCISE:

Today's session was awesome, partly because of a new and challenging program and also because I had my training partner there to push me.  (Sickies are one of the best inventions ever)!

GENERAL WELLBEING:

Todays meditation focus...

The answer to no longer 'feeling like you are fighting a battle when you didn't start the war' is to quite simply; choose NOT to participate! It's amazing how battles dissipate when there is no one to go to war with.

"I choose not to participate in warmongering and to not feed the egos of those that choose to be the warmonger".

A tip that I have found useful over the past couple of weeks is that rather than using my energy to fight back and play into the warmongers drama,  I instead use it to help my training by focusing the frustration on lifting extra weight or running that extra km.  Not only will you stop the negative patterning that only feeds their egos but you will also be increasing your energy rather than depleting it.

That's it for today.

Love, Light and Peace to all!
