WANT FRIES WITH THAT DAY?

ORDER HERE
Maybe you don’t think about it quite like this, but when you wake-up in the morning, and you open your eyes; it’s like you’re at the “Order Here” window of the drive-through of your life. Your Higher Self is waiting to see how your Lower Self is going to order the day.
     What will you order today? Pick from the menu? Will you Super Size it? Maybe try something nutritious? Easier to do the same-old, same-old? The habitual order of everything: roll out of bed, maybe a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, breakfast, family chores...?  Yadadda, yadadda?
     Do you even think in advanced about each day? Or, is it so routine, it just kinda thinks itself? Or is your life a “whatever?” reactive, “just deal with it!” kind of affair? A day where the biggest thinking is to make sure you remember the list: the “honey-do’s”, “gotta-do’s”.
Feelings? Feelings in the “feel okay” mode, where we avoid those “troublesome ones”. You know. Overall, it’s a one step after another in the morning, then lunch, then the afternoon.
     Brain on automatic pilot, going through the motions, easy-peasy, no big deal, you roll along and then you hit the “Pay Here’ window.

PAY HERE
However your Lower Self ordered, or didn’t order the day, you will get to the “Pay Here” window. The “Pay Here” window is how you spend your time, and energy of course.
     If you’re a low energy kinda person at the moment and you have sparse resources, this is where planning could have helped but, since you never troubled your pretty head about planning, you may have headed out with a menu full of illusions and intensity, but no time for nourishment.
     If your day was ordered to be reactive to whatever comes your way from others, whatever “pops-up”, then the world, your friends, your kids, your dog’s BM schedule, whatever, is how your day is spent. Doing what they want.
     Maybe, you’ve got obligations, like car-pools, sports mom or dad, business commitments, so your day is spent racing around so that you can fulfill those duties.
     What about something for you? Something to nourish your soul? If you don’t nourish yourself physically or psychically, you are being spent. How much does it cost you not to nourish your Heart? Not hone your skills? Not spend even one hour doing what you love?
     Don’t use it? You lose it. You lose it? You pay big time. This you’ll discover at the “Pick Up Here” window.

PICK UP HERE
So, what did you get in return for the time you spent today? A sack full of “whatever”? A jumbo serving of rushing around?
     Anything nourishing in your sack? Hmmm?
Lay your head down at the end of the day on your “Pick Up Here” pillow and do you feel good about what you accomplished? Or, do you feel harried? Exhausted? Spent?
     Will you spend any time at all planning for tomorrow? Or, will it be another duplicate of yesterday’s “Order Here” menu?  Nothing nourishing planned because you don’t have time? Because it’s too much trouble? Because, you’ll get to it tomorrow, right?
     You want fries with that day?
