Wow. My mind was wondering quite a bit throughout the day (especially at the gym) but I know I won the game today. Because right now, I am sitting here at my favorite local coffee shop sipping on a medium soy mocha with whip cream and embracing the moment for everything that it has to offer.
My jaw is somewhat clenched. My hands are somewhat shaky and there is a feeling of nervousness throughout my body. But like savasana I am letting my muscles melt into the wooden chair at the coffee shop. I feel what I am feeling within my mind and spirit and accept the feeling for what it is... no need to fight it... no need to try to change the feeling. I am embracing the feeling because it is this very moment that matters.
Like this blog, I find that doing something "extraordinary" each day that increases my anxiety makes me a smarter and stronger being.
Tell a friend you love them. Fart in front of a friend you've never farted in front of before. Buy a beer for someone you just recently met. Hug a friend who you have never hugged before. In the past, these experiences would make me uncomfortable even though deep down I enjoyed them. Now I enjoy the discomfort and embrace it with open arms. It has opened my world to so many new opportunities... it has made me a being again.
