The CP Diary

Without us accepting our imperfections it will be very difficult to find inner peace. I believe that much is true.

Unfortunately the desire for perfection and the need for inner peace will always be a source of conflict. When we feel the need to change something because we want it better than the way we have things now, we will always lose the battle. We need to be grateful and content of the things we have in our lives rather than wanting to change or fix everything all the time, so that things in our lives are perfect …

Something inspirational:

“The Courage of Integrity: The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity… choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience and truth over popularity. These are the choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back for there is never a wrong time to do what is right.”

As part of a balanced diet, fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy. The UK government has been telling us that we need to have five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, which includes 5 portions of fruit and vegetables together.

Five reasons for us to consume our five portions

Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals which include Vitamin C, potassium and folate;
They are an excellent source of dietary fibre, which can prevent constipation, digestion problems and help maintain a healthy gut. Fibre also …

There is no doubt in my mind that any negative issues I deal with reinforce my own insecurities about certain aspects of my past.

I believe the energy that circulates in my own family because of what we’re dealing with now, is presenting more negativity because of the stress and tension surrounding the present issue; which unfortunately has a knock on effect on my own issues from my childhood about my CP and no emotional support.

I believe that subconsciously I am holding on to thoughts that reinforce my own beliefs as far back as a child …

Something inspirational:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Although I’ve managed to blog about other topics that help with positivity, I seem to have been blogging more about myself recently and what I’m dealing with! My long-term intention is to get back into writing on some of the other topics too, just as soon as my life gets back on track. Eighteen months ago after the assault my life took a different turn …

Just wondering why we judge people when we often don’t really know them?

Unfortunately I’ve also been judged many times myself and have had to walk away from those relationships. I have also seen first hand how other people are so quick to judge others. My own belief though is that it’s important for us to unconditionally accept people for who they are …

I just can’t be bothered to motivate myself today. I have that despondent feeling which comes over you… the feeling that drains and zaps your energy for short periods of time, where you just can’t be bothered to do or think about anything.

I know the feeling will pass, it always does.

When someone is being critical they use it as a means of criticism partly because they know they can, because we don’t know how to stop them. Nine times out of ten they will get away with it, until we learn how to say no.

The problem with critical people is that they tend not to think about the way they speak, they just speak. They’ll just bleat something out, then think about what they’ve said after they’ve said it, by which time it’s too late to change anything.

So why are some people critical?

I believe it comes from the way we generally feel about ourselves. It’s also a reflection of what we’re dealing with at the time …
