Well I survived day two! Made it to yoga this morning- after hitting the snooze button a few times, I dragged myself out of bed to practice. After returning home even more bedraggled and getting my kids off to school, I found myself contemplating the rest of the day. Usually I would either go running at this point, or work on my billing and paperwork which is what I decided on due to my energy level (or lack there of). But first I had to just lay my head down on my pillow for a tiny little minute…
Two and a half hours later I woke up with just enough time to get showered and ready for a long shift of massages from 12 to 7:30. I felt like I could have slept ALL DAY!
Alas I made it through and felt much more grounded and level today than yesterday. I started the morning with a half a glass of rice milk mixed with vitamineral greens, vitamin C powder and tri cleanse (triphila with flax and psyllium). Throughout the day I ate three small bowls of kicharee with some kale and broccoli steamed. I ate one apple and one tomato for my mid day snacks. Delicious!!!
At one point during the day I found myself wishing the day would end, the week would end, and the cleanse would end as soon as humanly possible. I didnt feel uncomfortable, just impatient. At that moment I glanced up to see my daily quote calendar by yogi Bhajan and even though it was on the wrong date, I felt a sweet knowing that it was meant for me to read in that very moment. It said this:
The greatest mantra of the time is ‘keep up’.
Keep up, you will be kept up. ‘Keep up’ is not a small mantra.
If you ever want to know who you are and experience what you are and where you are,
just keep up.
The world shall bow to you.
And so I shall keep up and keep IT up as well.
Namaste
