Daily Inspiration - Lie Down

Lie down.

When it's time for a dog to rest, she stands on her little doggie bed and circles around and around and around. It's funny, and you may think, for goodness' sake, lie down! Humans circle around like that when they are ambivalent about doing a thing. If you have a habit you want to break, a new food plan you want to try, or an exercise regimen you want to adopt, you might be circling around and around -- talking about it, thinking about it, planning for it, setting and resetting a date for it, and so on.

Instead of following your tail in circles like a dog, lie down. Get started. Do the thing you've been mulling over. The thing you've been considering and planning, instead of doing.

Action for the day:  In your journal, make a list of the things you have had circling in your brain. What is it you want to do that you haven't done? Review your list and pick one to do RIGHT NOW.

Our daily Inspiration................

I am going to "lie down" and fill out all the paper work for the exercise place here in town.

That's step one!

Delivering it and paying for the first month is step 2

And then getting in there and getting started is step 3.

One step at a time.

 

Hi bornagain,
   Happy New Year!!! Just wondering what eercise place you will be going to? Maybe you may be going to ACAC. IF so, we could meet and work out together.
Hope that you can attend this month's Meet and Greet in Charlottesville. We have a good time.

Hi, Cindy:

There is a little exercise place here in Scottsville.  I wish we COULD work out together, it would help me be more accountable.

When and where is the next meet and Greet in Charlottesville?  I hope I can come. 

Blessings,

Jeane 

I dig this! Thanks for posting these again.

Jill,
  Thank you for bringing back the journaling exercises. Journaling isone activity that is causing me to circle around. Now I have a reason to begin.
