Winning

This morning, I won. I won against that little part of me that wanted to stay in bed, skip the walk and go back to sleep.  Every step out of my warm sleepy place, every step toward outside, I could hear the call, "It's not to late to go back to sleep..."  As I entered outside, I saw the breathtaking break of day, with jewel toned reds creeping out and still I hear that nagging voice. My body continued to move, perhaps to see what would happen if I walked when I didn't really want to go. About half way through my walk, I saw someone outside of their home alone, smoking and pacing.  My heart opened up and I realized how easy for anyone to get stuck in any pattern. The hard part comes in breaking into a new pattern, a healthy change, especially once our heart has seen how to overcome.

After getting out and moving, something I believe my body craves for sanity and balance, I realized I won.  If you have something your heart craves for sanity, for health, something you know you should do and yet you do not, try doing one day at a time, for you higher self. Step out into the unknown and into the right action. In your striving, may you be the winner.

Note to self:
Dear Doubting Little Voice in my head (aka Ego),
I heard you this morning, as I have in many other moments in my life. This morning as I disregarded your opinion, I realize something I already knew. You are not here for my highest good. You are not helping me strive to be better, to be the whole person I can be. In the wise words of others, if you don't have anything nice to say, please be quiet.
Love, Me
