I went to see a showing of the Mario Van Peebles classic, Rappin’, and got home rather late last night. I was tired and decided to just go to sleep.
I don’t really understand why I choose to postpone something that I already know makes me feel better. Significantly. Even as I was going to bed last night, I felt so wound up because I knew I would have to get up and walk my son to the bus stop – something that I have already described as a stressor.
One of the takeaways of this exercise in the long term needs to be “it doesn’t work if you don’t do it.” It needs to be treated like any other maintenance program. If you have high blood pressure, you can’t just take a few high blood pressure pills and call your blood pressure “controlled.” The same applies here. You have to keep reinforcing the information into your subconscious in order for it to be disbursed into the synaptical pathways.
I am definitely going to listen to it tonight. It just doesn’t make sense to skip this part of my routine. That is the same as me choosing to have anxiety. I don’t like the feeling of anxiety gnawing on my solar plexus with dull teeth.
Just keep on keepin’ on.
