Affirmative Project: Day 19-22

As you can see from the subject title of this blog post I have lagged writing my daily affirmative posts. And, I've been feeling somewhat guilty about it. But today, I've let go of the guilt. The thing is, I was being visited by BEAR.

Bear Medicine is a frequent visitor, especially during its hibernation season. I tend to withdraw from others and become reclusive. Which is a good thing because I can be growly when Bear visits me. My body also requires more sleep during this period. I took a three hour nap yesterday afternoon. This morning after I woke up and began moving about the bedroom I realized that I was humming. Humming is good! I took humming as a sign that I'm coming out of my hibernation. My body and spirit feel rested. Although, I think it was kind of ironic that grouchy Bear decided to wake up humming on Blue Monday.

Anyway, aside from a day of cleaning and organizing last week, I haven't been very ambitious. That's not to say that I've been negative. A lazy person can be postitive. I was content to laze about, except for the guilt chatter in my head telling me that I should be blogging my daily posts.... but I repeat... I've let that go.

I've been loyal to my commitment to watch The Secret every day for 31 days. But, I must confess that I have fallen asleep halfway through it a few times. That darn Bear insists on having his Zzzzzz's.
