move a muscle ...change a thought.

In the very beginning of my sobriety I got way more caught up in drama, in my head and all my insecurities. I was riddled with doubt and it could get so bad that I would be paralyzed with fear. When I could remember I would call my sponsor and she always told me to move a muscle change a thought. And it does work for me. Something that simple. They say that AA is a simple program for complicated people. I once heard a guy share that he could complicate a pen. And that pretty much describes me. I could complicate a pen. But at least I now know that if I am sitting at my desk obsessing about my pen all I have to do is put the thing down on my desk and go to the kitchen and wash lettuce. Or go outside and pick fresh lettuce. Usually my moving a muscle and changing where I am involve going to nature. But it works for me. Every time.
