I used to have jobs where I had to be at a desk working at 8:00 or 9:00 am. This meant getting up at 5:00 or 6:00, doing some exercise, showering, dressing, and heading out the door to work.
Then I quit my last job, moved to Massachusetts thinking I would find a new job. But, the universe had a different idea about what I should be doing with my life than I did. Because I no longer had to be somewhere, I started sleeping later. But, I have, since that time in 2004, kept the idea in my head that I should be up much earlier and then moving and doing/producing. I have struggled with this idea since then.
Along the way I have let go of other ideas in my head. I had to, at some point, give up the idea in my head that I would have a job. I moved into becoming a life coach, doing Channeled Angel readings and writing a book (with the help of the angels and guides, of course).
I was finally able to buy a condominium about 4 years after I moved to Massachusetts. I had the idea in my head that I would live in that condominium for 10 to 15 years. But, again, I had to let go of that idea in my head. I realized after about 6 years that I wanted to move from Massachusetts to Vermont. I ended up living in that condominium for about 6-1/2 years which is quite a bit short of 10 to 15 years. I am trying not to be set on how long I am going to be living in the location I am in in Vermont. After all the idea in my head may not match what the universe has in mind for me.
But, still the idea in my head that I should be getting up earlier in the morning persists. I am working on letting it go, however, it seems to be really stubborn. Maybe I need to let go of the idea of letting go of this idea in my head. Maybe I just need to co-exist with it and see how that works out for it and me.
So, as meditation image number 55 in Opening the Heart: Meditations on How to Be (here) is somewhat pertinent to this issue. If I see it as I am seeking to change from sleeping later to getting up earlier in the morning, then this image is really quite pertinent.
The interesting thing is that I am often starting my work for the day not much later in the morning than I did at my last job. (I suppose the fact that I no longer have to head out the door to commute makes a difference.) So, the ideas in our heads can really be quite interesting about what they want, about the way they perceive things.
What other ideas do I have in my head that I should let go of? Hmm, an interesting question.
What ideas do you have in your head that you might be clinging to that you should let go of?
