Training for the Tri-For the Cure (this weekend) went very well. I am happy with my progress & can't wait for the race. During all my time alone (on the run, bike or swim) I thought about Jennifer Hutt's challenge: to look inside myself & confront something that I want to change.
$@!! where to begin?
I choose being more flexible. This is not just about being a control freak, but its my resistance to change plans, to try something new or to go with the flow. A great example- its Sat and I have my goals for the day and one of the kids will ask if she can have a friend over. My initial reaction is no. That does not meet any of my goals...
Why? Why do I say no? What difference does it make? Most often I say YES, but its slow & sometimes hard to get there.
There are certain places and times when I want to be in control and other when I do not want to be in charge at all! Can anyone relate?
So I've taken the first step. I admit that I have a problem. Now I need to decide what I want to do about it. Suggestions are welcome!
