Monday morning affirmations

I caught the bus again this morning, despite Jay’s best attempt to make me late by insisting that I eat breakfast with the rest of the family like a real human being. While I am big on good nutrition and eating balanced meals, during the workweek, “balanced” usually means a slice of toast balancing on my travel mug while I rush out the door. Most mornings Jay lobbies for a full sit down breakfast with everyone at the same table, and if I am driving in to work, I usually oblige him. This morning though, I was taking the bus, and well, you know.

Me with the whole “on time” thing.

I inhaled a peanut butter smeared tortilla with only half of my butt on the chair (because it takes less time to eat if only half of you is sitting? I do not know.) Then I quickly downed some coffee and feeling very much like a third grader, asked if I was excused. Jay nodded and I swept out the door.

That was a pretty long winded story about how I got to the office. The point of it was that I caught the bus, and listened to a guided meditation track on my ride in. Often, the bus ride is the calmest part of my day. After a morning of rush, rush, crap I am late, rush, rush, I know I’ll miss my bus NOW, rush, sprint, oh, look! The bus isn’t here yet! Hooray! [Collapse] I was finally able to breathe deeply and welcome the day.

My affirmations for the day:

Love will be my highest guide.
I am the master of my life.
I am open and receptive to the lessons that present themselves to me today.

This begins week two of my new role as E.D. which so far I am enjoying thoroughly. Hope your Monday is off to a good start.
