Habits

How often do I just do what is routine?
Even my spiritual practices are routine.
I wake up
and then I begin by typing in my gratitude journal,
my inspiration journal,
my intention journal
and finally my joy journal.
Rarely do I write by hand anymore
but when I do
it is normally with my right hand,
after all I am right-handed.
Yet when I need guidance and wisdom
I often times pick up,
with my left hand,
whatever writing utensil my spirit feels led to
and the writing flows.
it is never what I would write,
but always wisdom that comes
through me but not from me.
I am always amazed when I
step out of my own habits
and do something different,
how Spirit speaks to and through me
Sometimes I need to just move beyond
my habits and open myself up
to experiencing the presence of the Ultimate
which only happens
when I move beyond my habits
and open myself up to so much more.

For the last few weeks, I have been reading Pema Chodron’s book Taking the Leap. It is about releasing old habits and fears. There is a section in her book when she talks about unconditional friendliness with ourselves. it is about changing the way we think about things. rather then seeing things as a burden, we need to see them as a gift. Rather then punishing ourselves for something that has happened in our lives, we can begin to focus on the lessons learned. Are we looking at the negative aspect of a situation or the positive. it is amazing how we keep ourselves living in a state of suffering and drama rather then choosing a mindset that allows us to live in a state of evolution and grace. Her reflection on developing a deeper relationship with one’s self reminded me of an epiphany I had once while reading Don Miguel Ruiz’s book, The Four Agreements.
