For instance, I sometimes let my time be sucked up by whomever asks, and others I hoard my time to myself, yet do little with it. (There are times I actually accomplish what I want, when I want, but I tend to be reactionary too often).<br /><br />I regularly oscillate between action and non-action. This is a personality trait that I just much oscillate between trying to control and not. I do own this.<br /><br />In direct response: I own my body and realize that whatever state it is my responsibility. I have long said that whatever state of fitness I may be in is a consequence of what I do i.e. "I am in shape because I dance", not "I work out to look good" Or likewise I got skinny this winter, then sick because I over-worked and under-ate. My time, I mention above, my things I am learning to let go of. <br />My decisions, whether good, bad, or indifferent, I own. I always reserve my right to reconsider.<br />My power - that is a very deep rabbit hole I'm not prepared to go down right now, thank you, Alice.<br />I am currently trying to prioritize. Perhaps more aptly, the time consuming and space consuming things in my life are going through triage. My significant other and 2 cats stay, all else is negotiable. Sometimes it feels like UN negotiations, but there you have it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
