All my life I have been miserable when it is hot. I used to complain ad naseum. I would affirm it with self identity- i am kapha(sp?) so I simply can’t take the heat. I was sure i was stuck with it. Then we had almost two weeks of temps over 100 and I was miserable and decided to change this. Every day it was cool I celebrated. I switched my attention to coolness. I spent as much time early morn or late evening outside enjoying the cool temps, thinking how lucky I am not t be in parts of Arizona where it can be hot all night. I never told myself I hate the heat. I learned to be neutral. Now 3 weeks later being tested with again almost 2 weeks of over 100’s. I sat outside in 99 degrees in the shade and was fine! Such a powerful example of how it is our minds that decided what is so, our bodies follow along. It takes great mastery to learn to assume that level of mastery over beliefs, taking dominion over our consciousness; I am definitely giving myself a high five on this one.
I was big time tested today and temps predicted for 104, 108 tomorrow. The A/C would not work and I felt my mind want to flip out. I went outside and calmed myself, asked for assistance from the Divine. In the past it would have triggered another button, the old i am not capable button which I close to no longer believe. I decided either i would fix it, I would find someone affordable to fix it or I would find a way to tolerate the high heat even though this is my normal day to write and be home alone all day. Long story short, I did figure it out and all is well. I only use the A/C for a few critical hours but I thank the heavens I have it, feel so blessed.
remembering the joy of being
