Day 2
Today finds me fighting the compulsion to do more.
More bowing (though my arms are cramping), more chanting (I'm naturally running over, so why not up it to an 11 or 21 minute session?), more changes (sugar, get more sleep, meat, get more sleep, exercise, get more sleep, volunteer, get more sleep, bake my own bread, get more sleep...seriously, the list is endless) more, more, more, more.
I have this problem frequently. Whatever I do is never enough. I'm going to stick with what I've set up and carry it through the full 40 days, then I can re-evaluate. Over-committing always sets me up to fail, so I'm going the under-committing route this time around. It's kind of a theme in my life since #3 has come in...there are a miriad of things I have to let go of, and the dust bunnies living throughout the house are a testament to the fact that I can so do it!
Other than that, my mind continues to race during my practice. Today we had a full plate of what I was going to write in this blog, calling my husband, elections errata, wondering what ever will happen to May and Archer in the last chapter of The Age of Innocence I've been downloading into my iPod, and worrying about #3s doctor appointment this afternoon.
Testament to woman's ability to multi-task. Hopefully we can gag that monkey sometime soon so I can get down to business...of course all that garbage falling out is probably the business I need to happen right now. SIGH, nothing like starting at the very, very beginning!
