Doing not doing

In the grand scheme of things it is generally not the doing of things that's hardest for me.

I can usually muster up the strength to do the things that need doing.
.
Write a little more.

Read a bit further.

Even walk a little longer.

But doing the thing I need to not do?

That's hard.

Not eating another bite.

Not letting my thoughts carry me away.

Remembering not to breathe fast.

It's not the doing that is hard.

It's the not doing.
