When I began new behaviors of meditation and exercise, all was going well until my husband changed his work schedule. This threw me off for a while and reestablishing connection with my intention took a few hits. Dan's new schedule gave my rational mind what it needed to get lazy.
Elements of our life situation appear to be out of our control. It's true when the situation involves a person or circumstance outside of ourselves. But when the element or circumstance involves ourselves, we're in control. Dog gone it...we steer our own ship and water our own garden. When circumstances "out there" begin controlling what's happening "in here", the conflict calls for courage and battle gear.
Am I meditating and exercising each morning? Yes and no. An occasional battle will be lost, but it's not over till it's over. Surrendering is not an option when it's an inside fight.
