I Love Reading the Multi-Vitamin Label!

I have been on a health kick. And when I do something, it's usually 100%--I go psycho obsessive. (Unless it's something I'm not into...hmm, like homework?) In the past it's been music, academics, basketball, shopping, Scripture memory, and even friendships. Oh, there's more, but we won't go there!

I usually stick with something for a long while, but I have been known to just lose interest and quit. That's something I want to change. One goal this semester is to not be overly obsessive over one thing and get burnt out on it. Like the health kick, I want it to be a lasting pattern in my life.

My childhood life was consumed with playing basketball. My room was decked out with pictures of ball players and trophies. I loved it for a few years when I was younger. But then, something new came along, piano lessons, and I took that up and basketball was a thing of the past. Middle school was all about music. I picked up several instruments, played in church, and again, decked my room out this time with music notes and pictures. I would practice three hours a day, 15 hours a week, and I had one proud piano teacher. But, in high school, my tune changed once again, and I gave my all to my youth group and friends. High school was also about keeping up the GPA so I would get good scholarships. I quit piano lessons, but still played in church and just for fun. But the three hours a day laid aside for practice became nonexistent. I'll stop here, the list of obsessions could go on for awhile. :)

One thing I've learned so far in my short little life is that MODERATION is a good thing. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit for a reason! I'm a firm believer in diligence and hard work. It's good to put your heart into what you love. But what I'm fighting against is my "obsess/burn-out" pattern.

So, the reason for this post is for me to look back at what I wrote publically, and remind myself not to be a crazy obsessed person. Health kicks are a good thing, I just hope it doesn't end. I'm loving the treadmill (did two miles this morning!) and working out with my friends is more fun than laying around the dorm. I am DYING for summer to get here so I can hike, tan, swim, ride bikes...ahhhhh I can't wait!! I'll probably be working most of the days, but that's what evenings are for, right? Looking forward to it!

Happiness? Tan? Just been swimming in the river? No make-up?


YES.
