Thoughts…and I can’t be tamed…
I haven’t been writing. And the difference is obvious. I haven’t been journalling, blogging, or writing thoughts down. Yikes, no wonder my mind is full.
I’ve been feeling very scrambled. Instead of doing all the things that I want to do, I’ve been acting like a rebellious child and eating and watching TV in bed. HAHA. I don’t even have a TV, but I have found my ways to watch shows that I don’t like on my computer.
However, I have started meditating in the morning and evening. I am going to the gym. I am going to salsa and bachata classes. There are a lot of really cool things happening. I am attending a weekly weight loss/meditation group, to learn more about coaching, and to benefit as well.
What I can see is that just “doing” isn’t enough to create a feeling. The thoughts also have to be examined. Lately I have had a bunch of stories floating around unquestioned. I believe that this work has to be done, and then all of the things that I’m doing will feel even better.
When I am dancing salsa, it’s like there is nothing else. I love every twist, every turn, every step. This is where my essential self finds delight. I am grateful to have found something that gives me this feeling.
I heard someone say yesterday that our bodies are our vessels with which our spirit moves through the world. How can you not love it? This form allows us to have the human experience. That is such a blessing, and it makes it hard to believe that the majority of people are constantly looking at their bodies with disgust, judgment, even hatred. Our bodies are innocent. They are just a physical manifestation of what’s inside. How sweet, and how simple.
