Hands of Time
October 1, 2009October 1st is here. To me, October signifies vibrant colors, crisp autumn morning, pumpkins, first frosts, happy runs with good friends. This year, October means so much more. It means a time to heal.
At times, life can be challenging, emotionally draining. Certainly, running and other physical activities do so much to help lift bruised spirits. But sometimes long, challenging runs aren’t enough. At these times, what works? I’m still searching for the answer to that question, although I think I know of at least one thing that helps.
I’ve discoved that focusing my mind what gratitude tends to relieve stress and unpleasant feelings. If I stop the negative, self-defeating thoughts and replace them with thankful ones I almost always feel better. I also find that visualizing what I want for my life fills me with a sense of peace.
I think it’s true: time does heal all. Now, it’s my time to open up my heart and allow the love and healing to begin.
