I have been neglecting myself! I am sorry self. You will receive an indulgent bubble bath this evening. Yes, we will even light the candles!
Self, I am going to treat your pretty twinkle toes to a magnificent manicure. Lathering luxurious lotion upon you. You deserve it , I know.
Mmmm, chai? Okay, done!
Now onto some writing.
Lately I have been enjoying more mental freedom. My mind is much more expansive then it had been. I was judgemental and narrow-minded and critical. I experience more contentment and I don’t have that obsessive thinking or cling to things like I used to. Things roll off my back now in ways they didn’t before my practice.
I don’t think whether I should tell the truth; there’s no choice. And I allow other people in my life the freedom to be exactly as they want to be. Even though we know it isn’t effective, we often try to talk people into what we think they should be doing. Thats a prison.
I would think, “When X happen’s I’ll be happy.” When, when, when. I can’t live my life that way. Things can change at any moment. Why not be happy NOW? My practice has helped me to go through really challenging times with grace and ease. I can say, “Okay, thing’s are hard right now, but everything changes.” I savor the good times and don’t get bent out of shape with the changes.
I just ride the wave.
It’s so much less stressful!
