There it was “McDonalds”, those damn golden arches.
Work was less than wonderful today and there was my chance to not feel, but eat junk food instead. I knew that what I needed was to go home, go for a nice walk, and take time to really feel my feelings instead of stuff them. I would then eat a dinner that would make my essential self smile. I would care for me.
So as I drove beside McD’s, meaning to drive on by - I turned into their driveway. My inner wild child was saying “yes” and my dictator self was saying “what the heck are you doing?” I pulled up to the big menu and ordered a large McFlurry. The voice said the machine was broken. I then ordered a sundae or maybe a milkshake. The voice said it wasn’t working either. You have got to be kidding me! I then drove on out of the drive-thru.
I knew that was supposed to happen! “Thank you God” I prayed. It was a total amazing ”ah-ha God wink” moment. That ice cream outage showed me that my old life of bingeing just isn’t an option anymore. Life is so, so much more than that.
Do you ever notice that as you listen to your essential self that little sycronicities seem to happen. It’s like life lines up in your favor. Follow your heart, listen to your inner wisdom. It won’t steer you wrong.
