Be Still

That is my problem. I can't be still. I don't want to be still.
I have not been diagnosed, but if I were tested and watched you would probably come to the conclusion that I am ADHD. I don't sit still, I need to be busy. If I am not physically busy, my mouth is going in, or my mind is highly active. It takes a long time for me to calm down enough for me to sleep. So being still is not in my nature. I am a go getter. I love highly intense, with a need for action days. Give me a weeks worth of work and I'll do it in a day. That's just the way I am. And I'm finding out, that this is a good and bad trait to have. While good in the work place, it's bad in a relationship; especially one with the Father.
So how do you combat this urge to move? My first thought, tranquilizers. I'm kidding!!! My really thought is training. We train ourselves for all manner of skills and processes. So if I can train myself to sit still, I will know how to control myself when I need too.
How am I going to do that??? I will start with early morning coffee and stillness for 5 minutes. Increasing every week by 5 minutes. We will see how this goes and I'll keep you posted as to the progress and how it's going.
