Who's this for?
So lately I've been doing some inner deep diving. Looking at who I am, how I show up, what I believe about myself and how that manifests in my life. I'm learning. I still have a lot to do. But today while out for my run I made myself turn off my music. I typically run with music playing -- it is motivating...but today I responded to a call to stop my music half way through my run to see what happened. To see where my thoughts went? To see what came to me. And so here it is ... I kept hearing the question "WHO IS THIS FOR?"
And what a great question. Not just who do I run for? but who do I live for? It's a great question to ask during this time when we have time to reflect on how we have been actively choosing to live. Who is it for? Because if it is for another, for a certain 'status', to earn respect, to feel valued, or to fit in,...then its not authentic. The who we do it for needs to be our soul self. That aspect of self is tied to the spiritual realm only by pure love and light. It's not trendy, its not fashion forward, its unconditional love that sees nothing but good. It isn't jaded by past decisions, it isn't conditional, it isn't based on appearance or what we gain from it. It simply is. So when I ask who is this run for I find my answer needs to be "me" but in the deepest most soulful sense of that word. I run for love - because it brings me more in alignment with my soul and moves unwanted energy through me in a way that opens me up to gratitude and good. I run for hope - because I am a soul who sees light in the dark, knowing that the afterlife is real. I run for good - because running helps me physically, emotionally, and spiritually if I focus on why I run and who it's for. I run for peace - because when I run time stops and despite moving I feel still.
There wasn't a time before now that I wouldn't say I run for me. I ran to have the body I thought would get me what I wanted. I ran to tell people just how far I went and how fast I did it. I ran because I didn't feel guilty about what i ate. I ran to see my fit bit steps increase. I ran for external validation. I ran because...I was running from myself. Today, I run towards me - my soul. I run because God/Universe/Spirit speaks to me when I do...and that is a place I want to be!
