Hey Friends! Happy Hump Day. Its almost Friday so hang in there. How are you feeling today? Did you wake up feeling excited? I woke up feeling a bit achy but was excited to start the day. It was so cold this morning with temps near the 20s but right now, it is close to 50 degrees and sunny. So it is a pleasant winter day.
I hate the cold. I have learned that I just need to drop complaining how cold it is. During the winter season, every morning and afternoon, I tend to whine about the weather. It's not like me whining is going to matter or change the weather to 80 degrees. Winter is here to stay for another 2.5months and I just need to deal with it. So I said to myself just layer up dear!
This morning, I was complaining about this physical therapy place I went to yesterday. It is a new place for me and I went in due to other peoples recommendations which was very high for this place. I spent 2 hours there and came home feeling a lot worse then when I went in. It was too much for a first session. This morning, I was complaining to my kids again about my experience. My son turned around, looked at me and said, mom just drop it, its done and while you are achy just deal with getting it better and don't go back there. What's the point in talking about it non stop.
Kids are so much more conscious then we are. My son had a point, and he was so tired of me constantly talking about this place. I then thought to myself, I wonder how many more occasions he has felt this way. What other areas do you need to "drop it." I am asking this more specifically as it relates to achieving your resolutions or goals.
Now, I know there are some things that should not be dropped. There are situations and areas of my life and yours, where you have to address the issue. This is not to say that no matter what you should drop it. No my point is you need to take the situation and really ask if this needs to be addressed or is this something that I need to drop. In my case, I am being whiny about something way past the event and it was unnecessary.
Boy, that was such a revelation. I need to drop a lot of things in my life, but more on that in another post. The thing that I really need to drop is talking about things that negatively affect my intentions and focus more on my actions. For example, for my eating healthier lifestyle, I need to drop all the things that are not helping me towards my healthier self.
What are some of the things I need to drop? Well, for starters I need to drop or stop whining about those who don't share the same goal or support me. I need to drop the negative talk in my head whenever I eat a bite of chocolate, I need to drop or stop comparing myself to others especially on social media, I need to drop or stop judging myself when I slip and others as well. I also need to drop this PT place and find a new one. I need to drop the whining.
Another words, drop all the things and talk or mental chatter that just has no place in my vehicle of plan. There is no place for those things that are not going to contribute in a positive way. We all need to look at and ask the question what can you drop right now that is not helping you achieve your resolutions.
I realized how I must have sounded to my kids when I kept whining about the physical therapist place. I mean it was just non stop. I am so glad my son caught me and stopped by. But I really need to be mindful when I am on the whinny path cause I know it would not help.
The appointment is done, I am home so its time to find a new place for my PT. I should have said what I wanted to say after the appointment and let it go then. But no, we are creatures of holding on aren't we?
Drop whatever it is that is negative. Don't whine and complain even if you slipped on your goal. Its okay. Tomorrow is another day. Just remind yourself to "drop it" anytime. Yes you can!
Wishing you peace and happiness my friends from my heart to yours!
Peace,
Monita
