Get Out of My Head!

Poem of the Day

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head, one you don’t like yet replays over and over...

What about a thought or a sentence you can’t seem to replace.

I had that problem when I woke up yesterday morning. My mind was all over the place with the most ridiculous thoughts! They were not helpful or true. My run was a battle-not to finish, but to manage my mind.

Yet I’m starting to see that my brain likes to freak out when I step out of my comfort zone or face my fear. I’m on to you brain, I hear you and we are going to be just fine!

I was glad to have time on the road to ponder, acknowledge my over-enthusiastic brain, and then fight back. Running gives me time and space to get out of my head. It’s my work worth doing-work in progress.

Could there be a thought that is stuck on replay that isn’t serving you? Just notice…

Poem of the Day:

Thoughts will come up
They say 60,000 a day!
I choose what to think 
I decide what to say

Some thoughts are outdated
Yucky and not true
I gotta get out of my head 
I ask myself, does this serve you?

The road gives me time 
to clear my head 
Some runs are a fight 
A battle to get ahead 
 
Pounding the pavement 
Keeps me aware
What thoughts to keep 
What thoughts to share

            —Work in progress...
