Overload today...

So if you follow the stuff that bubbles from my head you know I "try" to put something positive out every day.  Most of the time it's just stuff that is on my mind and reminders for myself.  But it is my way to release a lil positivity out to the world with all the negative crap that floats around us every day.  I would say 98% of the time it is not directed at any one individual.  And if you think it's about you or applies to your life well then take it for what it is, just "bubbles from my head".   Very rarely will I quote someone and if it sounds like a quote then that's an accident, it's just something that resonated with me and I thought it would be a good reminder.

So yes a lot of what I spew out is DDPYoga related, but if you read them they are applicable to everyday life, whether it's health related, family, kindness, faith, beliefs, or just simply being a good, or better person.  Something I have learned so far on this journey that I am on with DDPYoga, is that everything is related and it all starts with how we think.  Everything leads us to something and if we are not working towards something and just sitting back complaining about the world around us then we will never get anywhere.  If we are just sitting around waiting for the world to come to us, well we all know that will never happen.  To succeed in anything you have to make an effort. 

So this morning my brain went into overload.  Not sure if it was because of my DDPYoga workout this morning, or if my brain clicked into a different gear, or because I listened to Dallas's "Own Your Life" audio again.  But something clicked.

I know I have been in a bit of a rut for a while, and I am really good at "keeping up appearances".  My life just hasn't been running full speed since the summer.  Now I'm not making any excuses, I will not do that, because I know that life happens, and I know that life is only 10% what happens and 90% how we "React, Adapt, Take Action & Breathe".  I know I have been doing a lot of breathing, and I know that my reaction to certain life events is to close ranks, and I have a history to adapt by shutting down, and well the action is to fake it as much as possible.   This morning there was something different, I had more effort more desire, determination in my workout.  But like I said something "clicked" today. 

I never stopped, I never quit, my effort was just bogged down.  I feel like I have jumped up and tossed the blanket off that has been weighing me down off.

So I am not one to hold these "Bubbles" or "Random thoughts" so here ya go... some may sound familiar and some you may think I'm off my rocker.  But that's ok, because as one of my DDPYoga teammates (Chad) calls me "Donny Ballgame", well it's time, time to get back in the game, time to be the full time player giving 110%, time to take it back to that level.  Not just with my DDPYoga, but with my life as well.
