I've always said I love event planning. Let me just say I MUST because I have become an expert at throwing myself some grandiose pity parties! Like most mornings after a full night of "partying" you wake up hungover, nauseous and often regretful of the things that happened just hours prior. Today is different...in this instance, a huge plate of Mexican goodness is not going to quell things. What's sobering me up today is wising up.
The statement that our hearts and our minds don't often agree seems to be a truth told by many. After all, we're taught from the time we can comprehend spoken language, that what is logical isn't always what we may want to do...but it's the "right thing". While I don't know who first said this to me, I placed this cute ditty in my Life Lessons catalog where it grew to be very influential in the development of my ego and my pride. Today I have dutifully removed that mantra and replaced it with this; The logical thing to do is to ALWAYS follow your heart.
I've recently come to realize the bridge that connects listening and actually learning has been broken and fractured. Like everything else, it's nonsensical to think that we don't need a rejuvenation and complete overhaul of ourselves when things get stale and weary. Today I understand that when I think my mind and my heart are disconnected, it's fear that's coming between the two. I have taken the figurative mind and body too literally because they are one in the same. All too often we allow negativity to be more powerful and trump all the positive energy flowing in and around us. Without a doubt, when you allow fear in, it is tenacious, strong and unyielding. BUT...the cumulative effect of laughter, love and elation is the most "thrilling peace"— it's contagious and intoxicating and most important is we all deserve it and are worthy. Today I'm not shying away from fear, I'm embracing it and allowing myself to accept that it's ok to be afraid so I can finally take my power back!
A planner by nature, I have put together the simplest one yet;
BE PRESENT ONE DAY AT A TIME.
