Tonight I was getting in bed, more or less on time, when I realized that I hadn’t prepared Day 2 of my awareness exercise for some of my newsletter subscribers. Yes, I’m well aware of the irony.
Today I allowed myself to scroll endlessly through repeating headlines on our latest mass murder. Yes, I think, speak, and write extensively about stress management, and I am well aware of the irony.
This morning, it took me two hours to get anything done because I created no boundaries and let others pull me around. Yes, I preach self-care, and I am well aware of the irony.
Some days I do everything I know to do to keep my inflammation down and my mood up and other days…well I am absolutely aware of the irony.
Tomorrow I will try again. It will be a bit harder to get going because I won’t have all the sleep I need, but instead of allowing it to handicap me I will use it as a reminder to be more mindful. I will look at what my priorities are and let all that other stuff go. I will do this because I will make a choice to do this. Sometimes that’s the only dividing line between feeling good and feeling like crap.
What choice are you going to make today?
Helping you get past all the stuff that is holding you back!
