You Are Spending Time Thinking About What? #mindfulness or #busyness
I'm going to keep making positive choices and listening for what my heart is telling me. I hope you can find the time, flicker of inspiration, to do the same.
Self-care takes many forms. What we know, is most of us do not take enough time off. We drink coffee to fuel our days and interrupt our nights. Self-care is the process of unwinding ourselves from the rat race and giving our bodies and our souls time to recharge, play, and be quiet.
I'm going to keep making positive choices and listening for what my heart is telling me. I hope you can find the time, flicker of inspiration, to do the same.
We need to feel like our lives are meaningful, to ourselves, our family, and others.
Finding the balance in our lives requires self-awareness and the discipline, time, and energy to carry out our creative plans.
One of the most pivotal moments in recovery is admitting to yourself that depression is a problem. For me, isolation is pretty deep on the list of symptoms. By the time I'm isolating and fucking up at work, the other mechanics of depression are in full bloom.
The thrill of getting to a second date... Well, don't blow it. Just be cool. Don't lead to fast or too far. Take your signals from your date. Listen intently for emotional intelligence. Are they telling stories about past relationships, or future ideas, or work, or working out?
May you have the energy and fire to architect and fill creative structures with the stories of your life, love, and loss.
I hope you meet a lot of nice people out there. But don't be fooled by their looks, their profile statements, or their fluent email banter. Go for the face-to-face meeting with as little hassle and energy as possible. If it becomes difficult to land the date, for whatever reason, move on. If they wanted to meet they would also be trying to make it happen, not giving excuses.
Everything is great. My kids are great. My ex is great. And my, you are great too. I'm so happy. I'm the most positive person most of my friends have ever met. I just radiate this positive energy. "You can feel it, right?" Stand back from Mr. Yes.
