Just do it.

"Jesus Christ! Who put this shit away?" Hostility rises up from the kitchen space below, interspersed with humming and singing. At first my heart clinches, then relaxes, never quite sure.

If I'm really and truly going to do this work of being mindful, loving and kind I have to get honest. I inventoried Peter's state of affairs last evening, even as I too was stoned and binging on sugar. Keep your own side of the street clean.

I read something last night about two states that meditation is supportive of... going deep and saying no. Be mindful of what you do. Make good choices and to quote James, remember the power of pause. Just say no. No to binge foods, no to food that is not healthy. Just say YES to eating well and staying alive and productive. Plan more. Just do it.
