The New Lisa...

Wow, so this morning whilst it was raining and I couldn't get out in the garden I decided to clear out the cupboard next to my armchair. You know how it is when you get a bright idea and later live to regret it lol. Well I came across a couple of my old note pads. I don't know how long ago they were but inside one I found a page entitled 'The New Lisa' and it goes on to list all the things that the new Lisa is going to be doing...I did giggle, I'm not sure what planet I was on at the time but from some of the contents it was before I started claiming the real me back and not the Lisa that everyone else wants me to be. So here is the list...
The New Lisa:
  • Meditates every day- (Well I am doing that right now so that's one thing done!
  • Does yoga every day- Ummmmm still would love to but if you could tell my body that then I would really appreciate it!
  • Walks every day- Another one that I do do...Yay!
  • Worships the Goddess more actively- Differently would be a better word for it,  more embracing of nature, energy, spirits etc but ok.
  • Celebrates the passing seasons- Yep I do this one, in my own way. Not really one for full blown rituals with a bunch of people but yep.
  • Moves closer to eating totally vegan food- Am doing 
  • Is creative every day- Mostly...I do do something creative each day but still not as much as I would like.
  • Becomes healthier every day- Was doing ok with that until the whole nettle tea incident!
  • Spends less time online- Yeah I do that too, still want to reduce that time though.
  • Spends less time watching tv- I haven't achieved this but I am more picky about what I watch. I can't handle things like the news and violence is a hard thing for me to watch too.
  • Is more loving towards herself- Ummmm I think I am better, but there is masses of room for improvement!
  •  Learns something new every day- I started with plants and wild foods and I learn as much as I can about their uses etc.
  • Learns a new activity or skill each month- Probably not that frequently but if I want to try something I will try and teach myself.
  • Cooks wholesome and natural foods- another thing I was doing all the time before the nettle tea thing. Still working on getting back into it and I WILL succeed!
  • Reduces use of packaged foods- See above!
  • Learns to drive- Yeah yeah this is my mother speaking, it is not something that I really want to do, maybe I will eventually learn to ride a motorbike.
  • Goes horseriding- Not until I lose weight! I am not going to put a horse through having me on it's back!
  • Attends the Glastonbury Goddess Conference- Naaaah I don't think so. Firstly too much drama and other things I don't agree with, too many masks, too much money and it just really aint my thing.
  •  Attends Priestess of Avalon training- See above and abunch of other stuff...NO!
  • Makes her own beautiful clothing- Would love to and still hope to.
  • Makes her own lotions, potions and creams- Not yet but still planning on it. I have done a few as gifts but that's about it.
  • Is more outgoing- Hmmmm ok ummmm nope 
  • Is someone who inspires others. I would hope so but not sure it's happened yet!
  • Dances every day- Still aiming to do when body co-operates lol
  • Doesn't care what other people think of her...yeaah ok we shall skip past that one lol.
  • Is abundant in every way- Doing ok with most things so I think Im pretty lucky.

 So as you can see I have managed some but not all. Maybe I should make a new list? I shall think about that for tomorrow.
