Ever have one of those days when you just feel hungry all day? Well, I’m having that kind of day today, and it’s no fun. Now I can either: do something to turn things around; or, I can have a snack-a-thon. It wouldn’t be very inspiring to go for the snack-a-thon as appealing as that may be. Instead, So here goes, as I try to turn it around. First, think about what I know for sure:

1. I ate breakfast three hours ago, it’s not normal for me to feel so hungry yet. Grrrr!
2. I feel pretty aggravated, I had to wait on hold for a long time, and there was no resolution to my problem. Ugh!
3. My water bottle is full, I need to drink some water. Cheers!
4. This morning I woke up tired. I didn’t sleep well, I got a bunch of mosquito bites and they were super itchy all night. Then I had a bunch of unpleasant dreams, in one, I dreamt that I was covered with giant pox marks. Yikes!

I think my bad case of the “hungries” is just my brain’s way of looking for some sweet relief. It’s not food that I want so much it’s to feel better. So instead of sabotaging my healthy eating streak, and making today even worse, I am going to take some action:

1. I am going to drink some water.
2. I am going to do a 10-minute mediation.
3. I am going to have a 20-minute power nap.

After that, I bet I’ll feel better. Just writing this post is filling me with a sense of gratitude. I suppose that might sound strange to some. You see, I wrote this post instead of engaging in mindless eating and that is real evidence of growth. I also need to remember that even a bad day has the potential to offer something good in the end.
