People who know me personally, have often heard me saying this word. It has become my own version of 'self actualization'.
I have a habit of just writing down heavy thoughts whenever I feel them, and more often then not the only thing I have with me is my phone. I have started carrying a little notebook with me wherever I go, but I am a little shy and I feel pretentious when I whip it out and write in it. I guess we can blame technology for that.
So, this is one of those moments.
There are times of perfect serenity, when you accept, just for the moment, that the world is what it is and you are whatever you are. Small, but not insignificant, or even the trials and tribulations you went through don't seem so massive. Those are the moments that catch you SO off guard and make you realize that maybe, you are 'living it right' and sometimes doing the best you can, is in fact, enough. Its easy to believe all the criticism all the negative feedback in a heartbeat. The important thing is to let them go.
I've started a new 'thing' and I've grown to like it very much. I don't remember where exactly I read it, but fortunately for me I did. Every morning just as I wake up, before I jump out of bed or even begin to think I'm late, or start going over all the things I have to do that day. I take a few minutes, I stop, smile and I tell myself what a great day its going to be and how im going to get everything done, and done impeccably. It sounds like a giant cliche, I know, I am aware. Try it. Dont even sit up, do it while ur head is still on your pillow. Im not going to say it changed my life or anything, but it did make a difference, especially to those days where I woke up on the wrong side of my pillow.
