I just made that up, in a moment of quiet, a moment of meditation and peace. A brief moment, but it sure helped.
Reflection is always positive. I think some people are much too afraid to slow down, to simply be quiet and listen within. They’re too afraid of the negative thoughts that may have been haunting them for years, perhaps even since childhood. Blaming, criticizing, along with all the shouting about duties and responsibilities one must go do now.
How sad when one won’t listen within. If there is that much to fear, then even more than ever one needs guidance. Whether with the help of a therapist, a spiritual counselor, or simply a friend, life can be so much easier to deal with in a moment of quiet.
Slow down. Take small steps. Start with a journal - write those thoughts. I remember being very frightened of all that came out of my mind when I first tried that. So much sadness and hopelessness. As a teenager I knew something was very wrong when I would total up the “good” days and “bad” days every month. Repeatedly I had so many “bad” days, that I gave up tracking it!
Things can get a lot worse sometimes before they get better. Without going into detail, let me assure you that there may be times you give up doing the things that are healthful, but most likely you get another chance to get it right; just don’t risk too many chances.
For me, a Higher Power is the key. We all have a choice. Choose to move forward with help, or stay stuck in the “bad” days. May the wind and stars bring you peace. Theresa M.
