I consciously make a choice to be happy. Today is my first day. I promised to wake up and flood my mind with positive thoughts and emotions. What happened today?
When I woke up the first thought that crossed my mind was, “Oh! s**t! I don’t want to wake up with this intense pain in my leg and back of my thigh!” I put myself inside the quilt again. SO much for flooding my mind with blah! blah! blah! But somewhere deep within the valley of my mind that promise was rearing its head and I remembered to start my day with positive thoughts. Did I shoot out of bed and everything was alright? Hardly so.
My first thought was I have to rush, I hardly have ten minutes for flooding my mind with positive thoughts. But somewhere I have to find a way. So I got out of bed and tried to do usual chores with positive thoughts in my mind. Initially the only feeling I was going through was pain in legs. And damn it how hard it is to concentrate on only one thing for five minutes. So my mind kept wondering in thousand directions and I have to reign it and put it back on some positive thoughts. And I struggled in search of positive thoughts too! Then I started singing a song in my head. That REALLY helped! I was able to concentrate on the song and went ahead with usual daily chores.
After a while I realized that pain was not that intense in my legs and I can actually hum instead of grumbling and complaining. As the day progressed I forgot all about my pain. Its a dull reminder now. I sent my dear one to her daily destination with a smile. Now I am happily at my desk engrossed in my work. For tomorrow I think I will play some beautiful, soft, melodious and sweet songs on my deck that can fill the whole household with sweet gentle energy needed for the morning. So whenever I GET time I will burn a CD of my favorite songs having sweet soothing melodies.
For tomorrow, I will try to incorporate healthy servings of fruits and salad on DAILY basis in our diet. Till now its on and often thing. But I will try to change this from now onwards. But how to make it a happy experience? My mind is blank on that front but the only consolation is I will be glad if the youngest member of my family picks it up as a habit and continue it for the rest of her life. That can be a good gift to my little one. 🙂
Pass a copy of that CD to me as well. 😀
Sure Mridula. 🙂
