TAKING YOURSELF TO NEW HEIGHTS

AWW - Monday.  Make the best of it.  Before you know it, it will be Tuesday and so on and so forth but please don't wish away time.  You never know what the day will bring!  And of course, that brings me to today's Reiki thought of the day - "Uncover and discover new things about yourself - push yourself to places you've never been."  When was the last time you challenged yourself?  Yesterday was about expectations of others.  Today is about expectations about yourself.  When we are in a rut about our lives and ourselves we only have ourselves to blame.  What would happen if you did something new?  Something you have never done before?  You might just surprise yourself at what your capabilities really are!  Yesterday I did something I never thought I would do.  I went to an all day Meditation retreat.  At first when I saw it advertised I thought, "I could NEVER do that,"  All day!?  Too long.  NO WAY!  But I came to that conclusion without even giving it any real thought!  As a matter of fact it wasn't even a thought.  It was more of a gut reaction and not only that but a comfort zone.  Isn't it easy to say "I can't," rather that "I can?"  I would say yes.  And so, I signed up for this all day retreat.  I had time to think and rethink it.  The day came.  It was dark and rainy.  A perfect day to stay in bed.  BUT....I went!  And you know what?!  It was amazing.  There was sitting meditation, walking meditation, Dharma talk, lunch and a closing all lead by this wonderful person.  I am so happy that I went and that I chose not to stay in bed.  There will be many days I can slumber but yesterday was not one of them.  I am proud of myself, proud that I pushed myself, proud that I experienced something new and wonderful.  Get out of your comfort zone everyone!  Try something new!  Push yourself and be surprised at the results!  And by all means...let me know what happens!  Have a wonderful day~Love, Amy~
