Giving up The Places

Sometimes getting healthy can mean eliminating stressful places, people, and things from your life. If you want to be Sane healthy, and you want to reach your goals there is going to be a lot of sacrifices, or changes that are going to need to happen.

The Places

Sometimes the places you work or live may be what is contributing to the stress in your life that is keeping you unhealthy and unmotivated to change. When your in a place that makes you unhappy, you can get stuck in a rut. Recently I have made some changes to places that have helped me in my journey to health and happyness. I recently was living in a house. Being that it was only myself and my lil guy living there along with our two dogs, there was a whole lot of house for me to to try and take care of. I was responsible for trying to maintain all three floors, and the front and backyard maintence on my own. On top of not being one of those people who are obsessivly clean, dealing with health issues contributed to difficulties maintaing the property. The rent was very expensive, and financially I was falling behaind. The house was falling apart, and the landlord wasnt getting much done in the way of fixing up the place. The new rugs that had been installed before moving in were cheap and any type of catch would end up leaving huge tear marks if you happened to run over it with the vacuum. The windows were old, and so the healting bill was out of this world, and then there were the neighbors. One neighbor was old and bitty and constantly complained about the neighborhood dogs barking and had the spca always at the door, other neighbors would gossip and argue..it was completly and uderly stressful. The situation made me feel hopless and I frankly just didnt give a shit if things got done around the house. I was in a rut. Then I made the decision that the house was not financially a good place for me, and neither was the size. I made the decision to move from a house and downsize to an apartment. I ended up finding a fabulous ground level apartment that has tons of green space for my dogs, and was in excellent condition. I also was saving almost 500 dollars a month just by moving there. The change in my attitude since I have moved has been enormous. I am happy, stress free, and now take pride and care of my home. By leaving a stressful place behind it gives you the positive head space to move forward and get healthy. This can be applied to a job as well. If you go to a job and it sucks and it brings you down, chances are by finding a new job your head space will definitly become more positive. Positive changes brings positive places :)
