I am finding that sometimes i set goals for myself and occasionally i fall off that path. In the past i would have kept putting off doing what's best for me until a later day without ever really starting up again. However, in my raw experience thusfar I find that sometimes i fall off the raw path but when i set a time and date to start again, i actually stick to it. in part this is because i am actually listening to my body and my body is actually communicating. i have tried to listen in the pas… Continue
