Taking my time today. Not in a hurry.
But I did have to remind myself. The fact I needed reminding tells you something. I was in some kind of hurry. A neighbour of mine once mentioned that she'd seen me zooming around outside my place. Yes, I did zoom around for quite a while. Sometimes I still do. Now that I've noticed this I can continue on or perhaps re-evaluate and change that behaviour.
In my yoga practice today, another back practice that lasted 2 hours apparently, at least according to the clock I noticed after I was done, I seemed to be in such a hurry. Several times during the practice I told myself, what's the hurry here, let's do this right today. That helped.
Being playful in the art studio helped too. Seeing my self-doubt, the tension I carried when faced with a decision, taught me to say internally, caught ya! Once I'd noticed the tension I could face it and talk myself out of it. Can you talk yourself out of tension? Coach yourself?
Steady now.
It's only _________ (you fill in the blank), I'll get through it.
I've done this before, I can do it again.
Travelling to unknown places, I love that. What's to worry?
etc.
Yes, perhaps you have your own favourite saying that coaches you through challenging times. Here here, for all the help we give ourselves. Those big brains of ours sometimes really do help :)
Guess what? My David, to distinguish him from other David's, just started a blog today. Here is his link. Today his entry is titled Corn on the Cob. Enjoy.
