ugh I have so much work to do for my crit tomorrow, but I’m in Iceland and have dates and yoga classes and raw food restaurants and jazz clubs to go to, why oh why would I want to edit pictures right now? It’s really good to know that I can procrastinate so effectively both in and out of the states.
Thank you, thank you dear one! Go and explore, please. There’s nothing like it. As for eating clean, the first step is the hardest. You really just have to make yourself start. I played around on the fence of healthy eating for a year or so - I’d make mostly healthy choices, but then go eat a loaf of bread or drink a few beers, or whatever, but then I realized, I’m just hurting myself, and making myself feel awful. Once you get started on a more healthy path, you’ll feel so good that going away from it will feel uncomfortable. Even just being in Iceland for two weeks, I’ve been eating less healthy just because there are far less options here, and I feel slow and tired and less fit, and can’t wait to get home to eat a bunch of green veggies again. It’s just a matter of willpower, but also there’s a lot of freedom in realizing that healthy foods can be just as delicious, if not more, than the junk food. Take the time to prepare good food for yourself, but be really mindful of what goes into it. Tell yourself you’re really going to make the change, and then don’t let yourself go back on it. You’ll do wonderfully, and you’ll feel so incredible, I promise.
