Doing it anyway
Have you ever felt like you just didn’t want to do anything? Like you wanted someone else to do it for you? Or another person to pick up the pieces? Well that’s how I felt yesterday. And really, I just wanted Jeff to do it all, for my daughters to do it for me….and then I realized that it’s up to me. They can support me yes, they can love me yes, they can talk to me and give me encouragement, yes they can do all of these things….but when it comes down to it…it’s up to me to do it.
So with that feeling, I got up this morning and decided to just get on with it and do it anyway. Like writing this blog. I had the thought not to do it. Maybe no one is reading it….what’s the point. But in a way, the only thing that matters is that I write it. That I do what I say I am going to do. So that I can at least rely on one thing happening….and that is me keeping my word.
I guess when it comes down to it, that is huge. Because if I keep my word and do the things I am supposed to do….the things I said I would do, then my world at least has some order about it. I can count on myself. And that’s big. I don’t have to expect other people to write my blog for me, or other people to make me feel happy. It’s up to me to do it for me. Then once I do it for me, I feel happy.
It is about switching into the human brain and not coming from the animal brain. Because that animal brain will keep you in the dumps, moaning and complaining about life. It doesn’t want you to be happy, it doesn’t even want you to exercise, or eat healthy foods. It just wants to keep you miserable and not doing much with your life.
So, if today, or any other day you feel you are in the animal brain, just do this simple exercise. Take a deep breath in. Feel the power of the earth coming in up through your feet, into your body and energizing your blood. Take another deep breath and feel the power of the universe coming in through the top of your head, and feel the light flooding into your body so that you feel awake, alive and full of joy. Know that you are loved. Know that you have an amazing life ahead of you and a joy to bring into your life. Rock N Roll Val
