DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE...

Do you keep adventuring down the rabbit hole...? We all do it to some degree, Get taken down the rabbit hole, to the place we know, we don't really wish to go, Because theres nothing much for us there...we know it, yet we still go. Some days it's a shallow hole, others a lot deeper. Just think to yourself... Those moments when you say to yourself, 'I'll just do this one thing, just for a few minutes, 10 minutes maybe' Then you look up and time has disappeared. You did it again, you think to yourself, 'Why do I keep doing this'? And you beat yourself up (please don't do this, just become aware of what you're doing) We know it doesn't feel good, We know what would feel better, So why do we continue to keep choosing this for ourselves. Why do we continue to keep choosing what's not right for us? I mean, we know all the answers...it's true, you have all the answers you need, in you for every moment. We also know what's good for us...it's true, we know. What is good for us...takes work, usually more work, It takes effort, It takes us showing up maybe in ways that are new for us, It takes making adjustments to remove ourselves from an old version of us, It takes commitment, And it takes being really honest with ourselves in what's holding us back from doing what we know is right for us. Because when you can get really honest with yourself, you can see where maybe it's just a little change you need to make. When we know why we do what we do, our rabbit hole adventures become fewer and shorter, Don't worry, everyone goes down there every now and then, Never think you're the only one. We all need a little mindless, time out adventures every now and then, But think, in those moments you think you're going to go deeper...see if you can re-direct yourself into another adventure that will both rest and expand your mind, and one that will make you feel good in yourself. Last night when the kids went to bed, I took a trip down the rabbit hole myself...this morning I woke up, adjusted and made some different choices that brought more clarity to my world.
