The Adjustment, Perception, & Day 3

Monday morning and back to my exercise routine following my vacation in Florida! I purchased new sneakers for the vacation and let me tell you...I'll never wear boat shoes nor skateboarding shoes again for day-to-day wear since they destroyed my feet with their no-arch-support!

Also, today is now Day 3 of OP HEALTHBOD and what an adjustment. No cravings for animal-products again, but my body needs to get used to digesting much more plants since the last four years were very different than the previous four years as a vegan. The change of routine. The change of the day-to-day.

The sweet potato and black bean chili that I made on Saturday was a successful dish of deliciousness! The sweet potatoes were so soft! I plan to adjust the recipe a tad. Less vegetable broth. More seasoning. But! I think it was a beautiful step in the right direction and a great initiatory dish!

Last night, my love and I watched an episode of Black Mirror (USS Callister...so good!) and we ordered Chinese food. It is so easy finding a vegan asian-cuisine dish so I just ordered steamed veggies, white rice, and veggie dumplings. My go-to is usually general tso's tofu, but my oh my I was in heaven especially with the garlic sauce! I used to order veggie sushi too so I'm eager to get back into the swing of things.

It really is super easy to eat plant-based and I'm not a vegan junk food eater. Sometimes I'll make a "chicken" pattie even when I was eating like an omnivore. But! For my birthday, I plan to go to a great restaurant in LI that I went to on my 30th birthday. Plant-based dishes for days at this place!

The Adjustment. The start of a new journey.

I do feel there is a symbolic overlay onto other aspects of my life surrounding OP HEALTHBOD. I'm very excited to see where I'm being led so I'll just continue following the breadcrumbs.

I think this is also just an example of Perception and how much Perception dictates out entire experience of Reality. How a small switch in Perception drastically shifts our experience and modifies our Thought-Emotion-Action Loops. Choices upon Thought Patterns upon Feelings. How I just decided to make this change, The Adjustment has begun, and I feel immersed in my Power.

Power Choices. Deciding to Change for Self. Resisting the habitual knee-jerk responses to retreat back into the experiences of yesteryear. Declaring The Change and then witnessing Life's malluable nature as we ascend into the experiences which could only occur through the difference in Perception.
