I'm trying to pay attention to myself.
Just noticing when I start feeling less than serene, trying to freeze frame it, stay REALLY in the moment, ask myself what button is getting pushed, can I tolerate the feeling, do I need to hold on to that button anymore or can I toss it into the breeze.
Just noticing when I start looking for relief. Why do I need relief, what is it that I don't want to face, can I come up with it or is it swirling around under the surface.
It all unfolds. Part of the paradox is that as I get more peaceful, the more a period of unrest gets noticed, it casts a bigger ripple on the calm pond.

Sure sound like a very "normal alcoholic" to me.
ReplyDeleteOr should I say, "Carol, you speak for me too!"
Sometimes there is so much going on around us that we neglect paying the proper amount of attention to ourselves. Nice reminder. I try to remember that it starts at home, or with me, and then everything else will fall into place.
ReplyDelete"Toss it into the breeze." I like that phrase. I have a few things that I think would be best "tossed into that breeze." I'll do IT!
ReplyDeleteGod bless as "all unfolds" in your life.

I love your growing self-awareness and intensifying peace. :) I'm learning that too.
ReplyDeleteStaying in the moment is so hard for me some days and then other days it is as natural as the wind or the sun rising.
ReplyDeleteI think we notice more our slip ups when we are aware and more in each moment...thus the bigger ripple.
Plodding is good. Trudging is good. It's all good...
