They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. However, it is my hallucination that a 1000 words are worth a billion pictures, because of that beautiful machine that lies between our ears and the visual impact that each word creates in our imagination. The sights, sounds, emotions, and memories that are conjured up from deep within.
Think about the word LOVE
Yes, I know it is cliche, but it is an easy way to get this exercise started. Think of all the things this four letter word brings to the table for YOU. It is deeply personal and each experience is unique. Some may be similar, but like fingerprints and snowflakes, each one is their own.
Now think about HATE

Again, memories and emotions may flood to the surface. Like Yin and Yang, there is a certain amount of white in the black and vice versa. Let's not kid ourselves, nothing is completely pure. It is the cosmic balancing act and the need to truly appreciate one sometimes we compare it the opposite to give us a benchmark to truly experience the event.
The same is true with...
abundance and scarcity
acceptance and exile
wealth and poverty
strength and weakness
health and sickness
You need to define your own benchmarks and that starts with the words that you tell yourself. What do you say to the person you see in the mirror? What words of encouragement do you give yourself when nobody is around?
Think of the vocabulary that lingers in the halls of your mind, body, and soul, moving around like a fog, able to enter even the smallest of cracks to the locked rooms that you attempt to keep safe and sound. So it important that you add to your arsenal a slew of tools of internal fortitude and ammunition of self-empowerment. Your psyche is just another muscle that needs to be exercised on a daily basis. Think how much stronger mentally you can become if you spent as much time working on your mental state as you do at CrossFit.
Keep in mind your WHEEL OF LIFE and how living in balance is a constant adjustment.

Well, I don't talk to myself, but, I think a lot. Thank you for such an awesome post. I lost you in the shuffle of all these posts that run through my feed - and then, I remembered how to spell your name.
I do like that last phrase "KEEP THE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND DON'T LET ANYONE RENT FREE SPACE IN YOUR HEAD!!!!" Oh, how true is that!!
Upped and Steemed
Thank you. Happy you remembered how to spell my name...
My feed is a hot mess right now and it doesn't seem that I follow that many. I feel i have missed out on so much beauty that you capture.
Looking forward to catching up with all your splendor.
It seems like Steemit took away all my friends! Nobody is ever in my feed! Hope all is well with you and you are back from your trip. Nothing like home, sweet home.
