Day Twenty-four

I'm running out of ideas....

A few summers ago, in an effort to find some peace of mind about where I was in my life, I downloaded a iGoogle app: Affirmation a Day. I think I was searching for some mental guidance...some daily words of wisdom to keep me sane. Unfortunately, most of them were kind of lame and I found little inspiration.

Then I found yoga. It was just what I was looking for: ideas to guide my actions and thoughts especially when I am feeling low.  I guess this is why some people go to church. Anyway, I would like to make a point to ascribe to some words of wisdom, regardless of where they originate.

So, Resolution twenty-four: find a Mantra for the day.

Today, it came from my exercise class at the gym, which is coincidentally taught by my yoga teacher:

Trust that you know what you need.

This applies to all levels of my life lately.  I know when I need rest, I know when I need to run my ass off, I know when I need to clear my mind by standing at the copy machine, I know when I need to very blunt with a 9 year old...and yet I find myself questioning each decision.

Not today.
