Today I decided to be human.
\nI went for a walk when I had \u201clots to do\u201d, because busy is a choice.
\nI smelt the roses
\nand the dog shit, to be fair.
\nI ate what I liked and didn\u2019t feel guilty.
\nI grunted in yoga and didn\u2019t pretend to transcend my money worries
\nor that the wife hadn\u2019t just wound me up
\nor that I don\u2019t sometimes like a bit of telly.<\/p>\n
I sat with myself kindly on a park bench
\nand breathed.
\nI decided not to brutalise my body with mind-enforced deadlines.
\nI decided to feel when was ENOUGH (food, work, sex, whatever).
\nI gave myself a break from self-tyranny.<\/p>\n
Today I decided to be human.
\nI went for a walk, heard the birds blabber, ate a packet of non-organic high-fat crisps
\nand forgave myself for being
\nwell,
\nhuman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
