Allusion twenty-two

The moment of the day when we first open our eyes and come into consciousness is a precious opportunity. It sets the tone for all that comes after it. At this moment, our ability to create the day is at its most powerful, and we can offer ourselves fully to the creative process by filling this moment with whatever inspires us most and empower it to be the guiding principle of our day.

Setting the tone for the day actually starts during the closing moments of the previous day. In attempts to control my freakage I end the day with a three-deep-breath meditation and affirmations to set the tone for forward motion the next day. Changing a way of being is challenging (duh) so it's no surprise that is takes 21 days to change a habit (is that why rehab is 28 days?). Living my own creature of habitness the irony of today being day 22 of comps writing was not lost on me. Just as the groove is established the journey is a week from being over…well, part of the journey will be over - then a new journey begins: waiting for results.

As I hit a comfortable stride this morning the realization of what a lonely feeling this process can be surrounded me - not at all what was expected. I recognized later than hoped that my original plan for this four weeks was flawed; making the most of what is left will happen.
