Mind Wars

20. June 2008 by admin.

I awoke with a heavy sense of dread looming over me. The voices in my head shot arrows straight to my brain. It’s already 8 o’clock. You are already behind schedule.  

My husband walked into the bedroom, looking chipper, well rested, dressed and ready to tackle another day. “Why are you waking up so late?”

Ugh! I flipped over and buried my face beneath the covers. Thoughts of novels and chapters danced in my head. After my spiritual high last week at the Lakeland healing revival, waves of despair washed over me.

The mind demons chimed in again. That’s right, you are so far behind. You want to write books? Ha, ha you can’t even wake up early.

“No, no, no!” I shake my head and jump out of bed.

My husband looks at me, startled. “Are you all right?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just need to have some coffee, “ I respond, stumbling into the living room.

“I didn’t know you drank coffee?”

I stopped dead in my tracks. He’s right. I am not a coffee drinker. I don’t wake up at 8 o’clock. I don’t think negative thoughts.

“Aaaah!” I pull my hair.

The biggest battles we fight are the ones in our head….or my head at least.
