During my journalling this morning I felt overwhelmed and a little stressed, thinking of all the things that I had on today and consequently started to work on my automatic thoughts and recruited small steps but it was not until I saw what I was busy with that I realised I would be in my bliss for the whole day if I allowed myself to be and was reminded just how much I could have not allowed myself to be present. Get It
I get that I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed because I had a busy day. It was not until I looked at the content of my day that I realised that I would be:
- Doing a Wii work out which I love
- Coaching which I love
- Supervising which I love
- Being supervised which I love
- African drumming which I love
I am absolutely serious I love all of these activities, so even with one I would be in my bliss and because I had a full day I just saw the busyness. My supervision and drumming are by a wild ocean, beach and 1 hours drive away, so 2 hours return but the thing is, I get pleasantly blasted, refreshed and usually sing or listen to CD's there and back. How easy it could have been for me today to have missed this.
Got it
Right so I get it and the got it is what can I do about it. What are my options, well I could ignore my bliss and just stay overwhelmed. I could accept in wonder what a great day I have ahead of me and that by being present I could really enjoy and be grateful for what I have, which is of course my option.
Great
Now doing it. So I will once I have finished this look through my list and then hop on to my Wii and get on with it.
We play Djembe drums. The picture above is of a 10 minute gig - love saying that in a rural town, community, just loved it. I am in purple and white at the end on the right hand side. Have to say the purple and white is no longer. it is purple and purple after my dear hubby put the top in with the new purple trousers. Now I am very purple at drumming gigs. We are of course amateurs but great to beat on a drum. Love it.
Seriously, how lucky am I.
