This morning I hear this as I’m getting ready to go for my morning walk. It is a familiar voice that has always been there for me when I needed to pick up the pace of ‘something’. A building feeling of anticipation, heat and power accompanies it.
After yesterday’s realization that maybe the time for it’s effectiveness has passed, it now sounds like an old habit I need to change. I can be ready now when it shows up again.
I can ask myself ‘Why am I still doing this?.’ I can stop myself mid-question. I can do lots of other things to change my behavior, I’m sure, many of which I haven’t thought of yet.
Another realization occurred to me yesterday afternoon in the middle of another hot flash. Was the release of energy (heat!), a release of built up anger or frustration? Now, that would be a very productive use of the @#$^ hot flash. Maybe this is even a way to get rid of them!!
I’ll just keep blowing off steam, literally. Away goes my internal frustration. Away goes my need for the hot flash. A win-win.
YEA!!
