ARE YOU ENOUGH? by Zoë Patey, Spiritual Practitioner & Mental Fitness Coach Mid an 8-mile run in the New Forest recently, on a lovely autumnal day, a er 5 miles I thought about heading home instead of running for the planned 8; the thoughts of my work to-do list entering my head. en, the instant internal con ict with myself debating what I should do, run the full 8 miles or head home to work; these thoughts preceded with making myself feel guilty for being out running, when surely, I should be sat at my desk cracking on with my to do list and starting my working day? Two things then occurred to me: 1. Why am I making myself feel guilty over a choice I have made to be t, and I’m not exactly sitting down watching Net ix! 2. If I did go home and end my run early, I would then I would guess!) constantly beat ourselves up for doing something, but then feel we should be doing something di erent or be somewhere else? Which in turn makes the present moment we are in less enjoyable and full of guilt, anxiety, self-sabotage and speaking badly to ourselves?! e reason? It’s because we feel we “are not enough” we feel “we are not good enough” we feel “we should be doing better” we just feel guilty for doing something “for us”. We spend time thinking we should, be, do and have “something different”. We fail to live in the present moment since we are so wrapped up in the past, in our thoughts, we let the gi of the present moment lapse, we sow the seeds of yesteryear for our yet again, predictable future … But what if there was a way out? What it you could leave the past behind you? Stop looking in the rearview mirror; understand what keeps you tied up in the past, the old habits which don’t serve you; but keep you imprisoned in your own negative thoughts behaviours and actions which become your reality, repeating life patterns, and a future which any dodgy fortune teller could easily predict? It’s “NOT YOUR FAULT!!” And it’s it easy to become free!

Each scenario which I created was really of no service or use to me and it all started from my own thinking and started an internal beating up session and selfcondemnation.
