morning thought

Now, I suspect this is not applicable to most, but sure enough as soon as I stopped listening to "health and wellness professionals" and started listening to my self and not worrying about if it fit any plan, but if I felt an urge to eat or do something, I did it. Needless to say, as soon as I did I began again to steadily loose excess fat, and actually I do not care. My idea was that my body was given to me, and it is a tremendous gift, I was going to care for it. As a latter-day saint, I knew that I existed much longer in waiting to receive this gift and I more than likely already accepted what I had been given and studied exactly how to best care for it, so I trust myself over "experts". Likewise when I play piano, I find that I do much better if I loosen up in my mental control, meaning there is a much wiser self that I would be wise to at least listen to. A popular concept is "a house divided" I was basically in a civil war with myself trying to mentally think my way scientifically through health. I learned alot from watching actual stories acted out where what seemed best fell far short of what ought to be, and in many instances others " let Jesus have the wheel." David v. Goliath, or even Moses and the red sea, or how about the fishing river in Missouri and the Mormon Battalion  even the story of the sea gulls and the locusts... they all demonstrate that God is able to do far more than the world's best, it is more sensible then to trust in him. Ofcourse, I have to add a bit about Iceland. But, in a video discussion the application to the EU, the hand of God was obvious when those speaking talked about fishing was the primary export and number one economic resource, until a huge volcano nudged tourism up to exceed fishing. It made me think of how it felt when the Berlin Wall came down. God is in charge, not governments. It is more profitable to know what he says is going to happen instead of speculating as to what is likely to happen.

Last of all I need to mention my decision to stop any ads from bombarding me. That choice was made after I realized how gullible and impressionable I was. There is a lyric to a Lisa Loeb song that goes, "You said that I was naive, but I thought that I was strong." I just thought it was how I paid for everything "free" that I used, until I was free enough from it's grasp to have the thought that my own ideas were not even my own, the cost of not paying cash was too high. I would rather do without, and since then, I have felt so much happier.  I got the notion from someone in Layton who mentioned how much they hated even going into Target these days because of the advertisements, and how I realized when talking to my parents about how it had been years since I saw MTV, but that when I got called into the Young Women in Gallatin I wanted to be aware of what their world was like and I nearly freaked out at how vile and disgusting it was and this was in the 90's. I believe that I am so out of touch because I just never followed trends and instead did what I felt was best... like starting each day with a prayer and scripture study, eating and exercising just comes naturally l.. it does not need to be planned. And if it doesn't then maybe ask yourself if there is something else you should be doing. Blah blah blah, I need to get dressed and clean the house, and make a snack 😋 I will still be thinking,  just not blabbering so much about it, toodles!
