Wanting More

I just ate a bowl of cereal.  It was yummy and delicious.  And my immediate thought upon finishing the bowl is that I want another bowl of cereal.  I stood up to fix more and then stopped myself.

I’m sitting here examining why I want another bowl of cereal.  Am I still hungry?  The answer is no.  I’m feeling full.  It was yummy, but is it really any better to continue to stuff my face with more of it?  I doubt it.  

So what is it I want?  Something to do?  Satisfaction in my life?  To fill up the void inside of myself?

I honestly don’t know.  So I am going to be uncomfortable and just allow myself to feel whatever I’m feeling.  I’m already noticing that as the minutes pass, I want another bowl less and less...
