Dream: Health

I had a very calm day today. I probably spent too much time playing computer games, but that's okay, I needed an isolated break. I will put away the game for the next two weeks. It's really going to just be a distraction if I play it at all. I read some books, but didn't accomplish much homework except what was due today. I enjoyed a delicious lunch with friends and went running in the morning in the glorious sunshine.

Today was restorative, tomorrow will be the beginning of the serious study. I am nervous, but also hopeful that I will follow through with my goals. It's easy to let myself slide, but I am going to honestly try to do my best.

In my dream world today I am considering health. I dream that I will exercise several times a week and enjoy it in fact. I will find an activity that I can enjoy and help keep me fit. I will go to the gym every week a few times. I will actually enjoy sports with other people. I will look like I work out and be proud of my body. I will have a strong heart, mind, and soul from my various and exciting physical activities. One day I will play tennis and another I will run up and down the hills wherever I happen to be. I will be happy with my physical appearance and be appreciated for it in a loving way. I will eat healthily. I will learn how to cook wonderfully delicious meals from a variety of cultures full of flavor and gusto. I will try new spices, new vegetable, new ideas when I eat. I will be frugal, yet spontaneous. I will drink my water and avoid supplements that replace what I can attain through fresh fruits, vegetables, and legumes. I will eat locally to help the world and buy my groceries in those reusable bags. I will meditate to keep my mind clear and keep my mind active in work, with puzzles, and all sorts of exciting ideas. I will be strong, proud, happy, healthy, and content with life.

This is all ideal of course. I will give myself slack. I will allow myself that week of lazy sauntering at the beach or allow for the occasionally stressful week, but I hope to combat my stresses through healthful outlets like exercise, yoga, meditation, and volunteering.

Life is wonderful and so much is uncharted. Today is yet another day of hope in the world where my dreams are slowly turning into reality.
