Denial

We all have it.
We all do it.
How do we face it, gently greet it with kindness and open ourselves to the truth?

I walked my 35 min today at the Y and will do it again tomorrow.
Today was hard. Not the physical aspect of it but the mental argument it took to get me out of bed and to the Y before it was too late.
I was very glad I did it and feel better for it.
I am sure there will be many wee morning hour battles between my body and my head.
I just keep this simple idea in my head.
Who do I want to be today? The person who gets up and makes the effort to slowly and lovingly deal with what isn't working or the person who bitches about it and decides, "I can't change it so why bother?" And crawls back under the covers and awakes later to regret and the old familiar loathing.

So far the former is winning.

I have my first meditation and breathing class tonight at The Glowing Body Yoga Studio! One of 2 great classes Jerry got me for Christmas (thanks Santa!) Will let you know how it goes.
