In the beginning... (Merged from previous blog location)

well I have been reading my friend Amanda's LJ journal for a very long time now and just found another to indulge upon today. Thus U have decided that I will finally begin to post in mine...lol. I could be mistaken but Amber may be the only person that even knows that I am on LJ. Due to the aforementioned I would bet that I could potentially be writing this for me, myself, and I...lol.

For those of you that do not know me...lol...sorry I am literally laughing out loud because I find this ridiculous, but I will continue. OK for those that do not know me I was born and raise din TX, moved to OK for four years, then back to TX, then to CA....from there I went to VA and I am now back in TX in the Dallas/Fort worth area. I have been to or driven through all southern states with exception to North and South Carolina. I had intended to drive through them when moving back to TX earlier this month but decided I wanted to take the shortest/fastest route.

Since moving back here I have began to establish good habits and stop bad ones. I have quit smoking, in comparison with the last decade of my life I pretty much quit drinking...lol, I am riding my bike, doing yoga several times a week, easing my way back into kick-boxing, strength training, and will be beginning rock climbing starting tomorrow. In just the last two weeks I have seen dramatic results and feel much better than I have in two to three years.

Well that is all for now, it will take some getting used to in writing a blog (or LJ journal whatever you want to call it) without having this feeling of being narcissistic...lol. I need to get back to job hunting and sending out my resume anyway!

Get Regular Exercise for Mental Health

     So I realize that I have not posted anything to my blog in a very long time. Well, as you all know life gets in the way and the last few weeks/months I have just not been feeling like doing much of anything above and beyond just being. My next few posts are not original material, but I just thought I would share the information and maybe it will help or motivate someone.       Exercise is about more than keeping in shape. It also can help with your emotional and mental health. Exercise can help you improve your self-esteem, keep your mind off problems, and give you a sense of control. In general, people who are fit have less  anxiety ,  depression , and stress than people who are not active.      Research suggests that exercise can help specific mental health problems. Exercise may help prevent depression from coming back ( relapse ) and improve symptoms of mild depression. footnote 1 Be safe while you exerci...

Inscrutable happenings...

Have you ever wanted something so badly that your perception of the situation became distorted? I have. We can force situations so much that we lose perspective. Patience is a virtue...but damnit why? The great Aristotle once said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Well I will tell you what I find myself doing repeatedly through life....making bad decisions. After all of the time and effort I put into college why am I not in a better situation? Should I dwell on this? On to my point... I will tell you why...everything happens for a reason and as long as we are constantly learning then we are living a fruitful life that will eventually pay dividends. Many of you know that I am part native American; Choctaw Indian to be exact. One of my favorite old proverbs from that heritage is this: "Every struggle whether won or lost, strengthens us for the next to come." How awesome is that? So the next time you are sitting and wonderin...

Everyone forgives, albeit posthumously...

Sometimes I feel that individuals keep trying to fix something without knowing the root cause of the problem. I know for a fact that I have done this myself on many occasions and as a human on this earth will likely fall victim to this very act again. For, example a lack of feelings of self-worth, belonging, [ insert your own personal struggle here ], etc. Below is a great example found in an excerpt from a sermon taught by Matt Chandler of The Village Church . "Recovering sight is what Jesus is going to bring in the gospel. I don't know that you can get through life without being hurt and wounded by something. You know, daddy didn't hug you well enough. And it's really not your daddy's fault. Dr. Hannah was here this week for a pastor's conference. He told a great story about his wife when she was sixteen—mowed the lawn, trying to surprise her daddy, and she left this one little strip undone. And when her daddy got home, he re-mowed the whole lawn. But he wa...
