What is being stolen?
Hello all you wonderful Wellness Warriors
Alexander,my son, had bricks left over from a project he had finished. I had plans for those bricks! But due to various reasons never put the plan in my diary and to-do-list. Procrastination, they say, is the thief of time. Here it was the thief of my plans.
I noticed something interesting . The double row was now a single row. The height had also decreased dramatically.
SOMEONE WAS STEALING THE BRICKS! Our nocturnal visitors had struck again. No wonder our dogs had been going ballistic.
Well! I took the remaining few bricks and used them to mark out my new herb garden; a much reduced plan due to the theft. Amazing what we find time for when we have to. ( I woke up very aware of muscles I thought I was training this morning)
While I was running this morning I was pondering on the thought,"What do we allow to be stolen from us due to being unaware?"
Our health? Our self respect? Our income? Our relationships?
I see this in the health area when I hear:
"But it was only one piece of cake"
"O!But it was only twice this week we had fast foods."
Each compromise hurts us and leads to many more. Give yourself permission to falter once and there is a huge potential to keep doing it. Unless you are aware of the inflammatory response in your body and are prepared to fight the craving that a small deviation may cause. You are allowing your health to be slowly, and insiduously stolen from you when the exceptions become the rule.
Take time to ponder where things and life are being stolen from you. That slow, silent creep that steals energy, joy, health, relationships from you.
Have an awesome and life filled weekend.
Take time to replenish and see the beauty around you
Yours in wellness
