Eat.

You know, I think what I want most for you is awareness.
When I begin to work with someone on getting fit I will start with lists.  I want lists of what you eat, how you eat, when you eat…
What I want to know is simply, “are you aware?”

burdens…

how many burdens do you pick up each morning as you awake?
sit down, make a list of the burdens you choose each day, the burdens that are chosen for you, the burdens you have no idea how you got but continue to carry anyway…
