The truth always comes out on the rock.

So I've been having a some kind of up and down yes couple of weeks (shout of to my Efdemin fans) and for the longest time i couldn't pin point what it was that was making me feel so bogged down and out of flow. Until I got back on the rock this evening and everything just clicked into place. On the rock there is nothing but you and your next move. And if you're lucky some epic drum and bass to get you further into your zone. All you have is your body, your mind, your intentions and your will. Of course you have your belay and your harness but in the grander scheme of things its all and only you that will get you to the top. And so it is exactly this that brings me back to this blog post. I've been so out of wack because I briefly forgot that. I missed climbing for 1 week and I completely forgot. That it's only I who can get myself to the top. Of course I'll have help, safety and support along the way but essentially only I can get myself to where I'm meant to be because it is ultimately my journey. It ties in so well to recovery as well as a common saying I heard in treatment was "only I can do this but I cannot do it alone". Same with yoga no matter how great your teacher is, only you can train your mind to be comfortable with you hanging upside down. It's all you, It's all for you, it's all by you, so embrace YOU! Embrace who you are and where you are because somewhere in the ethers before coming down here you chose this. You chose to be exactly where you are in this very moment. So own its and move forward, or left or right wherever or whatever you need to do to get to that next rock, just make your move and see the magic happen. So this is me signing out wishing you another blessed and sober day.
