I received a letter from myself today, and it made me cry a little. The letter was a written assignment for one of the mindfulness groups I am in. I didn’t really think much about the letter then, but right now it’s resonating like a deep voice beseeching for remembrance.  I guess the group sent it out today.  At the time, I was in a good place, full of motivation and hope.  I will try to make my way to that place again.

The letter writes:

January 4, 2018

Dear Bananas,

It’s okay to feel guilty for not exercising as much as you want.  Just know that it will pass and you will eventually reach your goals.  Focus on the present and stay positive.  It’s natural to be judgmental, but at the end of the day just let it go and know that whatever negative feelings you have will pass.  Learn to relax and love yourself.  Take care of yourself when you are sick.  Stretch and meditate.  Go hiking and connect with nature.  Read more.

Things may not be going as fast as you would like it, but life is not a race.  Be thankful for your blessings for you have a lot to be thankful for.

Love,

Yourself

P.S. Don’t eat too much sweets!
