It’s a game of tug of war in my mind very often!

This morning, thinking what to accomplish, I was envisioning a sewing project already begun…kind of got excited about working on it and imagining how it could look. All of a sudden another thought pulled on my string of thoughts…’you don’t want to begin today. It’s too hot and you don’t really have enough time…’ (none of which was true)

It is like a game of tug of war in my mind sometimes. Who will be the strongest? Which thought will win? Which thought will I allow to win? Which will I cheer on and give the victory to?

Here are some of the strongmen holding the rope… negative and positive.

• I can or I can’t
• Should I or shouldn’t I?
• I want to get started, but don’t think I can.
• I want to but I don’t want to.
• I can do it, but perhaps no one will like it.
• I can get started, but think I’ll wait til tomorrow.

Have you played these games? Sometimes I don’t want to play, but those thoughts keep tugging, trying to entice me into their game of senseless competition.

I want to win the game! Will I allow myself to?

It will be my decision, and I can choose to win.

I will choose to win!

How about you?
