One Apple A Day #765 - glimpses of me
"First is an intention. Then a behaviour. Then a habit. Then a practice. Then a second nature. Then it is simply who you are."
Brendon Burchard
After a few days without my morning apple, this morning, I woke up feeling incomplete. As if I left out a part of me for too long and now I can feel a hole. This small thing of mine is no more a practice or a habit. It is who I am. Or part of it at least.
These fifteen minutes are a way to remind me every morning who I am. Like looking at the mirror so I can recognise my face.
This post wasn't planned.
I felt my creative wellspring was drying out, so the plan was to take a few weeks off from this practice. To recharge the batteries and refill my ideas' reservoir. You know, to write something more appealing or exciting to read.
Then this morning, I sat here, and without even thinking, I found myself tapping on the keyboard. It just makes me feel more connected, more in tune with myself. Some go out for a walk, others meditate or pray. I do this. It's less about the results and more about the practice itself.
Now I'm ready for the day.
