I recently made a commitment to a 21-day community phone-based meditation. I was a little concerned about making this commitment as the call was at 7am – a bit early for me. But I was excited about the meditation Id experienced and was looking forward to joining the meditation community that was being created.
So I jumped right in and began my 6:30am wake up time and 7am meditation. What I quickly remembered was that this was one of the things that I *hated* about working in the corporate world – alarm clocks! But I was committed and I was enjoying the meditation. At day 9 though – I hit a wall!!
I woke up that morning tired, grouchy, resentful and pissed off at having made a commitment I wasnt sure I could keep. I had no idea what to do about it but I had a plan formulating in my brain. The only problem was it felt like I was breaking my commitment. I felt icky.
My brain started off saying what I couldnt do and I focused on the Nos. The further I went down this path the more I felt like I was dropping out of my commitment. Finally I was asked one simple question: What can you say Yes! to? I felt like a light bulb had gone off in my head....
