This is the third week in a row of my Sunday Confessionals. Readers, if you enjoy these "Let's get real" moments, let me know in the comments section below.
One day this week, I was feeling like I'm not quite practicing what I preach. I still have some fears I need to overcome. Without getting into too much detail, I'm allowing some fears to hold me back. I'm creating excuses. I'm deferring responsibility when I shouldn't be. Partly, it's inactivity that is holding me back, but I understand the limitations of what my body can do right now, and I'm barely poking those limits. Afraid of re-injury? Maybe. Talking myself in circles about what I should or shouldn't do without actually doing it? Maybe.
Friends, I knew that I needed to get out of my own head. I knew that I needed to stop pouring effort into things that I don't really care about, or that won't really matter in the long run. But I was feeling stuck. Very stuck. I made a list of things I hoped to accomplish for the day in an effort to provide myself with a more tangible goal to work toward, but I knew that realistically I wouldn't get to half of them. I was stuck.
So, I wrote on the walls...
For those of you who didn't read my Writing on the Wall post, don't worry. I did actually write on the walls (WHAAAAT?), but it wipes off. I write on the walls of my shower. I use dry erase markers.
Phew!
It wipes off easily, but it doesn't always work if the shower is wet or steamy. I have another device for that, but I'll talk about that another time.
After this feeling of stuck-ness decided to linger for over 30 minutes, I wrote inspiring things on the wall. Specifically, I scribbled 10 reminders I set for myself on 10 different tiles. To me, it looks like the typical cubicle with a cluttered array of sticky notes everywhere. I went a little overboard. But that's okay; they wipe off. I'll examine a different one every day/every time I shower and I shall erase them when I feel that I no longer require a reminder.
It's time to own the fact that I am a powerful creator, with the potential to do great things! That's pretty much rule #1: You create your own reality.
The rest of my reminders look a little like this:
Own up to your creation. Honor yourself. Listen to yourself. Love yourself. Do things you Love. Let go of people/things/situations that don't support you. Stand by your beliefs. Acknowledge your fears, for they ache to be heard; then overcome them. Accept life's pleasures; you deserve every happiness. Empower others.
Message of the Day: We all feel afraid sometimes; it's okay. Acknowledge your fears and overcome!
...Or don't. It won't change my reality. Cheers!
