#FromWhereIsit I’ve been wearing the same clothes for the last three days, well sort of…😱🙈😂 Don’t worry, I have bathed and put on clean undies but essentially this is the third day of donning the active wear with the intention of going for a run. Two days ago I was awoken by the pounding of rain drops and flooded with thoughts of remaining warm and dry in bed instead of running in the cold and wet. But, I had my local running clubs’ fundraiser for a breast cancer charity and wasn’t going to allow the rain to dampen my intention to go.
There I find myself, dressed in my running gear – the clouds had dried up and with it my best intention of running had evaporated. In a few short hours my running clothes had seen more shivering activity than sweaty action. They were abandoned to the ‘limbo’ pile for my civies (non-activewear clothing). You know, that pile of clothes that fits into the ‘only worn for a short time, not smelly or dirty enough to go in the wash but lacking that fresh out of the wardrobe feel’, everyone has one of those, right?!
Fast forward to Mothers Day and a luxurious morning of extravagant breakfast, too many coffees and general lazing around in pajamas leaves me sitting in front of my overflowing wardrobe with absolutely nothing to wear! So, instead of grappling with my indecisiveness I reach for the safety of the limbo pile. I dress, once again, in my running clothes with every intention of a short run before a bush walk with the family. Needless to say, the limbo pile welcomed my running clothes after another couple of hours of pointless wear.
#FromWhereIsit today, I have finally rescued my running clothes from the limbo pile, sufficiently sweated in them and laid them to rest in the washing basket. I’ve learned that intentions don’t always result in action but if you persist they will eventually! 💡 Either that or you realise you were really faking it and deep down you had no intention of doing what you say you were! If I’m completely honest, I probably had no real intention of running on the previous days. But today, my intention to run was paired with catching the rays of sunshine between the rain drops, and finally freeing these clothes from the limbo pile!
What intentions have escaped action lately for you?
