This morning I drew the Shield Maiden from the Angels and Ancestors oracle deck.
Shield Maiden: Make Plans and Focus
( Make Plans and Focus ).
I woke up thinking about my BIL who is an addict of alcohol and my cousin who may slip into that realm and how some treatment centers have exercise available for those seeking it. I find it interesting, because one could exchange one addiction for another right there for a "healthier" option. Many work out on a religious basis, and have difficulty stopping because of the happy hormones going off in the body. Which may be healthier, but eventually you're going to have to stop and actually pay attention to what your body is trying to communicate or deal with the emotions that you're running from or hiding from.
We tend to fill our day to the last possible moment to avoid doing the things that truly have meaning or work. It's like we are frightened about something.
Waking up and doing a "Miracle Morning" or doing a "Miracle Evening" are both ways of investing in one's self and doing personal work. It's making a conscious choice to invest in your own emotional, mental, and physical well being, but also a time just for you.
I was filling out my profile on Bumble and it asks Night owl or Morning Bird. To be honest both. But I actually really enjoy getting up before the household, so I can do the things that I allow myself to be distracted from during the day. It's also a good time to work towards goals that I may be hesitant to work towards during the day, because the distractions. Not to say that those distractions don't exist in the morning, but I can usually focus much better in the morning to do the necessary and focused work before I allow the world in.
Especially now that I'm not active and TT or Instagram.
You can be addicted to the distractions of body and mind, as a way to avoid the things that are truly important. One can be very addicted to the distractions that work at avoiding the things that make us extremely uncomfortable. Not saying it's right or wrong, but the detours can give the illusion that you are being productive when actuality, you're just busy not productive.
Random thought trains.
