I woke up feeling kind of crappy this morning. Why? Because I had some things to do that I didn't FEEL like doing. It wasn't that these things were in and of themselves painful; I just didn't want to do them. Actually, every one of them--there were three--would benefit me. They all involved money, too. Last night, as I lay in bed I wrote each one of them into my iPhone calendar because I know once I write something down I HAVE to do it.
I've done them all. And I'm a better woman for it. See, when we push through the bull crap that tell us we're not worthy of this or that, we grow. We grow in self-regard. We grow in self-respect. We grow in power. Yes, I feel more powerful now. Now I can get on out to the gym. I took care of the "painful" stuff now I feel entitled to enjoy the juicy stuff. Yes, I like working out...so working out is juicy stuff for me.
My new mantra is GSD! Get Shit Done! If you're a religious type, then it's Get Stuff Done! GSD is one of the ways we take care of and honor ourselves. When we do what matters to us, what moves our lives forward, what we say we gonna do, even when we don't FEEL like it, we free our ourselves in mind, body, and spirit. Energy that was pent up in thinking and worrying about what we ought to be doing that we're not doing is now available to us. We can now be more present to the present moment. And more available to more, more joy, more peace, more time, more fun, more opportunities, more confidence, more goodness, more serendipity, more, more, more!
What might you do today that would make you feel you've honored the promises you've made to yourself? So you can make yourself more available to more!
