Last night in a gathering of women, while paying attention, I noticed mySelf saying, “I am a firm believer”, then I smiled and laughed. I was not a firm believer in the point that I made. We were talking about dieting and weight and I am at such a different place when having that conversation. I look at the information that my body is telling me, I relax, breath and take a step. My body is firing off a lot lately. To me there is no surprise that a body that I did not pay attention to for so very long, forty-four years, might have some information to engage me in a conversation now that I am listening.
This morning I am still smiling, as I get up, stretch, feed all the animals in our house. When I say, “I am a firm believer” it is such an illustration for me of how I used to live my life, research something, come up with an opinion and the say it (report of the weather) for the rest of ones life. No need here to be in the moment and see what comes up.
As with everything now, once the awareness comes up, the old believe/practice disappears, and life unfolds.
Still smiling.
