An update. some more tracking...

Blimey it has been a while.

I am back here, because I am growing and changing again.  And its a tracking thing.  I think that is what this space is for me.  A kind of checking in with how things are going.

I have come a long way since I started this blog and many dreams have come true.  I am an artist, I work as an art teacher outside the box, I am a qualified and now experienced yoga teacher.  And I am also a well paid consultant and coach and I help people declutter thier lives.  Life is good.  My husband has stopped eating sugar and is looking after his health.  And we are no longer completely broke.

So what am I tracking?  Well 2 things.  Firstly I am taking part in An Artists Way group so am going into that space again.  Artists dates, morning pages, all that.   And transitioning from a form of coaching I underwent which was all positive energy stuff.  No negativity.  This Artist Way stuff requires me to moan apparently.  I am actually pissed off and angry about being told to moan! ha!

But there's that.  And there is also the Erin Faith Allen art retreat I am going on.  Im not tracking that exactly.  But I have been asked to detox for it.  To allow better intuition.  I am unsure, but at the same time I have kind of been getting a bit of a message from - well.  Intuition.  That this might be a good idea.  I often write about wanting to be a "clean eater" and its always interested me.  So.  Is this my opportunity?

I am still unsure.  Or addicted to caffeine.  Hmm.  Probably the latter.  But having just had my large cup.  I am pondering how far I am going to go towards this.

I am committing to cutting down my caffeine intake.  That is as far as I am going at the moment.

Since the amazing holiday in France I am also slightly in the habit of having a glass of wine, er, nearly every night.... So that too.  I am cutting down.  I am not quite ready to cut it all out.  But cutting down.  And yesterday I did not have a wine, and tonight too I think I will skip it.  I can go for weeks...... so.  There is that.

Generally I have made small steps towards healthy eating and exercise.  I am eating a protein and veg breakfast and I am not eating sugar  - for the most part.  And no processed foods.  And I am doing a 1minute plank every day.

So I think I will  blog again.  And see how it goes.  Not too demanding.  But inching forward nevertheless.  Making it easy for myself.

This week's artist's date is going to be going to a meditation class somewhere i have not been before.  Or a class I have not gone to.  And a pedicure.  Actually the last one is pampering.  But that is actually in the artists way contract.  So its most definintely allowed.

Oh.  And having tried various coaches, I am going to work with one.  On quite a low key once a month or once every 2 months basis.  And see how it goes.
