Assignment 10
This site is starting to really freak me out. Seriously!
Everything is popping up in front of me, just when I am contemplating a need... the pragmatic in me wants to believe that such a thing would occur anywhere such a multitude of like-minded people gather. But, my heart knows that's not the case. My soul is sure my God is working overtime for me right now.
Yesterday, I had written my plan to do 1.5 hrs moderate cardio while dd was at practice, just to see how many calories I can burn in that time. I am sore EVERYWHERE from pushing hard at the weights this week, so this seemed like a reasonable way to spend my workout, while she practiced.
Then, DH threw a wrench in the works, planned to cut DD's practice short to go to a local game. So, I threw on my workout clothes and headed to the gym early. I wasn't fueled the way I wanted to be, but ... I did it. Nine-hundred and forty-three calories.
What's interesting is that the entire time, I forgot about what I was doing and began to visualize body parts, a different one for each song that came on the iPod. I pictured, say, my abs the way I want them, got a really STRONG vision in my head... and then repeated "flat and tight; flat and tight" over and over in my head, holding on to that vision until the song ended. Then, my thighs: "long and firm". Then, my butt, and so on, concentrating on that vision until I had my whole body covered.
When I was cooling down, I was smiling, feeling so proud of how far I've come in this 9 weeks, how I finally feel like I'm getting it! I'm eating right, exercising as hard as I possibly can every day. I'm enjoying my free day. And, I'm not drinking. I"M DOING THIS, and I'm doing it to the very best of my ability.
Then, I come home and Mr. Phillips posted that Assignment. Cha ching! Done! Before I even read it. How flippin' cool is that?
you go silly girl!
How did you know, Heather?!?
I love it Sally! You are getting connected with your self and your goals!!!! For my abs I say in my head,"Flat abs Flat abs Flat abs..." But if you say it too many times it is a tongue twister. (See?? I KNOW you are trying it!!!) :)
Lisa: That's a very descriptive name for those events! Heidi and Susan, Thanks!
That's awesome and it was the same experience I had with assignment #9. I had been thinking about people on the site inspiring me and then I came home and the assignment was about that. In another Chopra book I read, he calls it "bridges of incident" when you are connected spiritually to a higher power. -- Lisa
That is spiritual connection/awareness my friend...and you will find that it may occur more often and it can also be quite helpful! I wrote a little blog on connection (in my profile)...which is what you did during your cardio session...way to go Silly! I wish you many more beautiful similar moments!
I feel the same way Sally...lots of wow moments going on...and I have to tell you I think for me my not drinking wine is what has opened up so much more to what is availlable to us from God. I am just so much more aware of everything going on. I have never worked on myself in this area where it was so much fun! A fellow VOW, Susan
