So we’ve done the holiday thing and we’re probably more or less tidied up by now. All that’s left is… leftovers. What I like about leftovers is that they’re easy. No decisions needed! Throw stuff in the microwave and there we go!
Metaphorically, though, we have leftovers, too. We may feel a little yucky still from too much pie, or too much gravy, or too much of Uncle Stanley. Maybe we hardly moved all weekend and we feel stiff. Or maybe we spent the whole time running around doing things and we feel sore. It’s easy to sink into those leftovers, too. We might tart them up with a dollop of guilt or a smidgen of shame or even a little rage, but we’re still feeding ourselves the same metaphorical stuff.
Y’all can do what you want with that last bit of stuffing, but I have my bossy pants on and I’m going to tell you that it’s time to pitch those metaphorical leftovers because they’re stinking up the joint. Whatever happened over the holiday happened. And now we’re done with it. We start fresh from right here and right now.
We can choose healthy foods. We can move. We can even rest if that’s what we need. We can do this.
