Scheduled Sinfulness. How virgoian!
Writer's Block
Which of the seven deadly sins-sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, anger, envy, and pride-are you most likely to commit?
___________________________________________________________
How coincidental that there are seven deadly sins... and seven days of the week. I think I shall start a new goal. I will assign one sin per day of the week and indulge in it on that day!
Sunday - day of Sloth - On this day there will be no clean up... chores.. self driven to do lists... anything. This is a day of laying back and enjoying a book, a bath, maybe a soak in a hot tub. A LONG nap after having slept in! A day to cut yourself some slack and slow down the clock.
Monday - day of Greed - the self-serving desire for the pursuit of money, wealth, power, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. On this day there will be indulgence in things that are usually self denied. Specialty coffee, personalized breakfast after kids go to school, a sweet indulgence before they all get home, standing in the shower until there is no hot water left for anyone else. Ahhh allow myself to make it all about me!!!
Tuesday - day of Lust - Do i neeeeed to explain this one?! go for record breakers or for WOW status. At the very least.. indulge in the lust over a new pair of shoes... the sinful feel of silk... the passionate warmths of a fire place... the seductive spirals of a perfume. mmmmmm
Wednesday - day of Gluttony - gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or intoxicants to the point of waste so I shall NOT clean my plate! i will enjoy the mounds of rich fresh fruits regardless of their price ( cherries and strawberries out of season!), glasses of wine starting at noon! Adding a token of wealth to my decor.
Thursday - day of Anger - this day is where I will focus on being angry at ... things! What ever has been suppressed and " logic-ed" away. Be in the feeling... work it through. Pound the treadmill... sidewalk.. pillow... something. Just allowing the feeling. Anger at injustices big and small.
Friday - Day of Envy - an emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another’s [perceived] superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it." A Day to look into what and who is doing what and how around me. Deciding what I want to do about it all... giving credit where due and kicking my own butt where it is due. Envying another to push myself to praise or achieve.
Saturday - day of Pride - a high sense of the worth of one's self and one's own, or a pleasure taken in the contemplation of these things. One definition of pride in the first sense comes from Augustine: "the love of one's own excellence." Allow myself to boast, beam, and show off what I have achieved to those around me. Taking in all the praise and back pats offered up with out minimizing or humbling myself or my efforts!!!
Ahhhhhh it is good to sin! "All thing in moderation I am told. " I think being Virtuous needs to be taken in moderation too! *EG*
