This morning i woke up a bit differently to what i normally do. My cat called “Django” had a run in with our neighbours cat just before the sun started rising, so i was awake earlier than normal. When my wife got back in bed she expected to be able to go back to sleep but i was tossing and turning and annoying her with my fiddling. Anyway she got annoyed and jumped up giving me a hard time and i continued to tease her and had a good laugh. Despite her annoyance with me she got back in bed and is still sleeping while im now writing this.
I got up out of bed and proceeded with my morning routine of feeding our fresh new little kitten. China, i love her. Yes, we called our cat China. Then i took a shower, made myself a cup of coffee and sat down in front of my computer like i would normally do. However instead of starting with work i had the need for a guided meditation. It took some convincing that i had the time to do a 10 min guided meditation but i gave in and went ahead.
When done, i opened my eyes and wrote in my first language “So lekker oggend ! Ek het so lekker wakker geword en gemeditate. Ek love dit!.” Which translates to “Such a nice morning. Woke up so well and meditated, i love it.”
Doing a Meditation in the morning always surprises me, it just makes me feel so balanced and ready. It reveals my burdens and my fears to me and it shows me that i have the power in me to release myself from those chains. Meditation brings clarity to me, it creates a foundation for my day through an awareness of what i am and what i am not. It reminds me what i want to be and how i want to be. Meditation untangles things you didn’t realise needs untangling.
I made another discovery about myself this morning. By waking up happy, having a laugh and being playful and childish my morning turned out much differently than it normally does.
Have i forgotten that I Have a Choice ?
I can definitely do with more laughter, love and freedom in my life.
That is what i Choose!
