eating healthier. this is something i have always been interested in, always researched and always done half-way. emotional eating, time restraints and feeling overwhelmed by all the information and time/money involved in making a huge lifestyle change have been the culprits. but the more i have looked into it, the more i have been realising that it’s not as complicated as i think. i don’t have to do it perfect all the time for it to be beneficial and i can start small and work my way into eating completely differently. even if its over the course of a few years. yes, every little bit helps. one day at a time. all those cliches are true. we are taking small steps to eating better as a family and i honestly think it could be cheaper if we do it smartly. we will see.
the more i deliberately try to think and live in a way i enjoy, the more i realise that it is a process of small steps to a long-term goal. i used to get so frustrated that i could not have the finished product right now. right then. and i still do sometimes. but i think what i have learned most over this past year and a bit of blogging and deliberate living is that ‘the process’ is life. learning, growing, changing, adapting and becoming more whole and rounded is the process of life. i wonder what we would actually do if we had all that already…

LOVE this 🙂 I once read something around healthy eating that said something along the lines of ‘you are only one meal away from a healthy lifestyle’…meaning just because you ate like crap this morning doesn’t mean the whole day is shot and you have to “start tomorrow”.
Good luck!
that is a great quote! thanks for sharing. enjoyed your blog!
oh and ps. you can come organise my house anytime you want! i was reading your about page and we share so many interests, but i am the messy, struggling to stay organised person. 🙂
