Changes

Ever since I've known that I was going to change jobs it seems like everything around me is changing. It's almost as if I'm going through an inner-cleanse. It's as if I know subconsciously that I need to remove all the bad karma, negativity and stress my former job bombarded me with. These first few weeks of the new job have been exhausting. Not only because starting any new job is a bit stressful, but also because I feel like my body and mind are purging all of the negativity at the same time. It's a wonderful feeling!

With this, I've also made some changes in how I treat my body and how I treat the planet we're occupying. I've done quite a bit of research on organic and earth friendly products. It started with changing the type of diapers we use for Nathan, then into his snacks. Now I've started using organic and/or earth-friendly products like lotion, shampoo, conditioner and even some makeup. Most of my cleaning products have now been replaced too. For some reason, it makes me feel like I'm doing a small part in helping erase part of my carbon footprint. We're also trying to only drive one car (my car) because of it's fuel efficiency (36 mpg).

I'm also looking into starting Yoga. With my new flexible schedule, I'm determined to carve out a couple hours each week to focus on getting back to the body I want.

No, I haven't totally changed everything in our house (yet) to organics. But it's a small change I've started making that I'm really excited about. My next post will probably be another list of "favorites" of the natural products I've been using.

There's really not a point to this post. I'm just sharing my excitement that has come as a domino effect from my new job.
