Okay, Universe - I know I have been ignoring you, but now I hear you loud and clear! Two hours battling a poopy clogged toilet apparently was the in-your-face message I required to finally acknowledge how I've been clogging my body and my mind.
Like many of you, I have been not-so-kind to my body lately. With the arrival of my
28-day body/mind detox program this Monday, I have been playing that game we all know too well...
"tomorrow I will make up for today's behaviors." In other words, limitations start Monday, so I had better eat as much "bad" food as possible until then. (Maybe your version of this rollercoaster involves cigarettes, gossip, exercise, clutter...).
Problem is, when we push our self-care into the future in lieu of being our own best friend in the present moment, we degrade our self-trust. The little voice inside exclaims, "you said you would take care of me, and you are choosing someone or something else over me
again; I cannot trust you to take care of me."
Future promises of self-care provide no value, and in fact, can have the opposite effect. But beating yourself up about it only compounds the issue! The inner you already is doubting your loyalty; chastising her will not help.
Each moment is an opportunity to create a new possibility for yourself. My possibility, in this moment, is to be my own best friend. I intend to stay aligned with my purpose by first staying aligned with my physical and mental self-care routines. In this way, I create a clear space from which to create and act out my mission.
If you're into this concept and would like to step into an entirely new way of aligning your daily life with your life's purpose, check out the
28-Day Clean Your Body, Clear Your Mind Program that starts Monday!
