The Body Practice

I am enrolled in school right now, and the class I am taking has only two days out of the entire year in which items have to be turned in.  Wednesday is one of those days; I have three papers and a presentation due.  I have put off doing them, couldn’t get my mind to kick in or something.  But the end is in sight and I think I might just make it. 

 I struggled a bit this weekend because I had more back pain from my injury than I had experienced for awhile.  But it seems, if nothing else, to be under control.  I still get afraid that I will be stricken down by intense pain like I was this Summer.  I am working on staying in the moment when the pain comes and not jumping into WHAT IF…  I was in such a bad place then.  I pray to God I never have it that bad again. 

Maybe I will trying riding my bike again tomorrow to see how it feel on my back.  It is a recumbant bike, so there is less stress than on a traditional bike.  I love to ride it.  But progress is still slow.  The important thing is that there is PROGRESS!

Personal Self-Love Challenge: Today I got up a little extra early so that I could take my time getting ready for work.  I think I am turning into a morning person.  What a concept!   I also took care of paying some bills I have without stressing over the money.  Most importantly, when I felt the pressure of school, instead of beating myself up for having writer’s block, I took a breath and reminded myself of my dream…of why I am in school.  That really helped! I even took a HUGE leap of faith in myself and registered for 3 classes for the Spring today.  I have never taken 3 classes at the Graduate level.  I will be working as well.  But I think I can do it, I am becoming a better student.

 Take care all, Thanks for Sharing!
