Welcome to the age where our operating software is updated every night just like our cell phones. We go to sleep in our beds, close our eyes and wake up to a new you. With still fragments and latent memories of the previous version, we roam around in the new day acquainting ourselves with the upgrades, bug fixes, and new features.
This time around though, it’s not just minor improvements, recharging and go. Today is the big day, aligned by the planetary system, it is time for the whole body, full system operating system upgrade. Goodnight.
Woa, why did I just pop out of bed right when I needed to without an alarm? Oh wow look at this, I’m already in the shower and on the road, perfectly on time to meet my first meeting. It was easy, peaceful. Not a rush.
Oh no, there’s a car swerving in my lane, I swerve back, adrenaline pumps through my system…like literally pumps, I can feel the chemicals released as though I felt it as clearly as running your hands down a velvet sweater.
I show up for the meeting after securing my breakfast, and it’s time to talk. The discussion stems from them, not from my own initiating. I sit and listen and although I fully comprehend the logic in the message, I pick up on the emotion, the meaning, the hidden insights each pause, exclamation, and facial gesture presents. Not in a hyper analytical way, in an intuitive way.
To be honest, I didn’t try, I was just there and reacted. My timer goes off, this meeting is over.
Throughout the day, that’s how it goes, showing up and helping whomever calls me into service. When there’s no call, I sit in tranquility instead of stewing in future plans and past analyses.
And the day just happens, a sense of relief that I don’t have to “attack the day” or “rise and grind” or any other maxim espousing the negative emotions for motivational purposes.
Interesting upgrades. I’m okay with them, I have no choice, I role with it.
