The sound hidden between the heartbeats

One of the things my enforced immobility has made me do….

Is take things *real* slow.

Before I would angst about having to walk slow…now every step I take is a matter of sheer deliberate action on my part.

Being *incapable* of rushing…. forces you to deal in terms of minutes/hours/days instead of simply this moment/next moment/what just happened? moment.

Instead of asking, what’s next….

Ask yourself:  What’s the end goal?

And give yourself permission to plan out the time required to get there, one long step at a time.

Grow strong,
