21.5.800 {Day 4} – Needs, Wants, and Freedom
Yesterday morning was a pile of frustration. The rest of the day was extremely fun–I went on a road trip to visit my friend Bee. She gave me a tour of her fair city and we had a terrific time. When I went home, I had planned on working on a “reflection paper” for class and therefore get my 800 words from that, followed by savasana. But well, I lapsed on both counts!
It was an interesting exercise in what I want versus what I need. I didn’t put 21.5.800 in the mental compartment for need–there wasn’t much room left in there. My internship and then my visit with my friend were things I could guiltlessly say, “I need to do these things”. However, the idea of cutting the visit short or writing / doing yoga during the visit seemed out of the question. And afterward, my energy was spent.
I felt like, well, there isn’t a choice here. I went to bed and didn’t feel badly for it.
I slept long & well.
Still, I think that this skip on my part needs to be acknowledged. So today I endeavor to write 1600 words and do two sessions of yoga (probably one savasana and one DVD session), since today, my time is all my own today. My only other plans include going tubing down a river! Woo hoo!
That about does it for this update. More coming tonight!
