Hannah’s (Pre) Spring Clean: Blog Eight – Hannah Falls Off the Wagon. Again
Well you are reading the blog of someone on a health mission who isn’t very good at it. I confess to a couple of drinks yesterday whilst in Nelson picking up my partner’s daughter from the Airport. Arriving quite a bit too early in the city, after running our only two errands we were at a loss as to how to occupy ourselves. We were both feeling giddily in love and delicious, the sun was shining (kinda) and so we decided we’d have a bit of a treat…waltzing in to the Sprig and Fern (a lovely pub stocking lots of their own brews) with big grins on our faces. I didn’t really even hesitate, lapping up my Siefreid’s Gewurtztraminer with supreme delight. I don’t think a glass of wine ever tasted so divine, it was the golden nectar of the Gods I tell you. One actually led to two, and then we tipsily wandered on our way.
BUT- I did notice its effects mighty quickly, and by the time we made it back to the Bay a few hours later, I was far more tired than I ought to have been, as my body worked to process the toxins. Whether it was just that, or a combination of factors that have also led to me being rather exhausted all day today, I can’t tell you. There are the full moon, daylight savings and a myriad other planetary related shifts and wobbles that can affect ones energy!
So. What do I do with this? Do I start my month off all over again? Do I let myself just sit and reminisce about the wonderful time my Gewurtz and I had on Saturday as I savoured every single drop? Do I beat myself up about being such a failure on my mission? I think I’m gonna go with the second one, and at the same time I’ll let myself reminisce about the good time I had with the Salt and Vinegar potato chips earlier today too.
One thing I CAN tell you is that I’ve practised some yoga moves at home, feeling my arms muscles go all jelly-like after several Sun Salutations. I’ve been drinking Kefir. I’ve been trying to ground myself in the present and not let my mind wander off into fear-based lands. I’ve been gentle with myself. I’ve eaten healthy, nutritious foods (though I’m yet to start making any Kefir-fermented vegetables).
I’ve been dreaming about all the things I am going to do with my life, including exactly what I’m doing now. I’ve been creative, though not
with poetry. I’ve caught up with some friends and some family and made some new family too. I went to the local HANDS market today and
sampled tasty morsels, bought two paperbacks, some salad greens, some ready-to-drink Kombucha (YUM! Thanks Lina!) and some goat cheese too.
I’ve seen so many mamas and babies, both human AND animal that I’m seriously getting clucky (for the first time ever, by the by)…
I seem to be existing in a little bubble of bliss. Even the challenging moments I am ready for, willing to overcome them and move on, all resolved and free. I am optimism, I am happiness, I am healthy in many different ways and I am far-out excited.
Over and out,
Hannah the Manifesting Maniac
