I noticed today as I was filling up my weekly pill / vitamin / Omega 3 allotment for the week, how my mind imagines "... by the time next week rolls around, I wonder how I will feel, what will have transpired?" I also scan the upcoming weekly events - if they are something I look forward to, I feel the excitement and sense of anticipation. If however, I have a root canal or some event I am dreading - I feel the unease and desire to avoid this feeling and the event.
I start telling myself stories of how I can always get out of whatever it is ... I pre-plan my excuses, not just any excuses mind you - really compelling excuses! It puts my my mind at ease and I move on.
Instead of strategizing on how I want to change these habits or conditioning - I have begun practicing more fully listening and feeling into what is present.
Simply noticing what arises and bringing my attention to what is actually happening ....
I am standing in the kitchen putting healing capsules in a plastic white pill box.
Oh and there is this lovely smell of chicken noodle soup cooking on the stove .... rich!
