the tao te ching

I haven’t been to my morning mma classes for a week and a bit. I’m in danger of letting that stretch to two weeks. Shame. Guilt. Anger. Relief. I was listening to the Tao Te Ching yesterday. I am listening to it now. It’s interesting how effective I am when I am doing something for someone else and how ineffective I am for myself. Ineffective? More like I just don’t/won’t do things for myself. Neglect. I neglect the self. Why? I’m sure there are many reasons. Maybe today I will pretend that I am someone else that I am doing the things for. Perhaps that will be an effective strategy. I will report back. Hope you are having a good Tuesday.
