As you go back over your month remembering and reminiscing , may you appreciate all that you have experienced and still may be experiencing, whether energizing or exhausting. You may or may not want to be going through certain moments but they do add to your special, unique and wonderful self, and all you have been created to
be. This is worth celebrating!
As you are reading this, what are you thinking?
At times, possibly, "Oh joy..." (as you roll your eyes)?
If you are, , oh my goodness, you most definitely are not alone with this thought! I also can have those "Oh joy," rolling of the eye moments where I am thinking, can I pleeeeease go back to bed and start over? Thankfully, it doesn't work that way for me or I would get into a habit of going back to bed
and not living the day I have been blessed with. That would be such a waste!
Now depending on how you look at it, it may or may not be wasteful to go back to bed, even for a little bit. For me, it would be. If I went back to bed, do you really think I would sleep?
Heeeck no!!!
I have a trait that can be so very annoying at times as well as a tremendous blessing at other times. I am an overthinker. You could even say I over analyze.
I do that very very well. I can spend quite a bit of time thinking over what I have said, who I have met, random who knows where the thoughts come from thoughts, which by the way, I can end up spending time analyzing as well, as if I didn't have enough. How about current events? Oh now, there can be a lot to think
about within that topic, then I get into how I am feeling and how others might be feeling as well. There can be a never ending list of things to ponder.
Oh, I didn't mention family, friends, school, coaching even what I would like to share with you? It is amazing how wonderfully time consuming all this thinking can be. Add surfing the internet or social media into the fold!! Where does the time go?
I can't help myself but say, "Oh my goodness!!!"
Can you just imagine how much time would pass, especially if I went to bed and did this. My body might forget how to get up and move.
Eeeesh!!!!
However, I don't just sit around thinking anymore. I get up and starting walking. You can find me walking inside, out in the hallway or outside, depending on the weather. If I am going to overthink, I might as well be moving. So good for my body, mind and soul, and, for my mood. Add prayers in there
and that time becomes time well spent in my books and turns my day into a great day!
So what do you do when faced with moments of "can I pleeeeease go back to bed?" I would love to know...
