This is the focus of my meditation this afternoon. I get so bogged down with stress, anxiety, worry, a too long to-do list and every distraction possible. I buy into the lies presented by the media and advertisements. I compare myself to women and mothers on social media. I get so overwhelmed I don't want to get out of bed in the morning. I over eat. I eat like an addict. I feel worse. I get sad seeing myself in the mirror. Any why? Because I forget who I am, whose I am.
I did an exercise called "This is what my center feels like." I close my eyes, take a few short breaths, clear my mind. My first thought: I am at one with the universe. I am not wanting. Feelings of peace and calm are almost immediate. I continue to breathe. I'm reminded that everything is as it should be. I am not in control, but everything is taken care of. My abilities are limitless. A loving creator wants me to be happy and what I choose to do or become is up to me. How much would the world change if we all remembered who we are? If we focused inward, inside of ourselves to heal, to grow, to radiate light and goodness out into the world? Let's put our energy into lifting and encouraging others. And into falling in love with ourselves.
Peace, love, om to you today, you beautiful unicorns.
Thoughts on all the crazy day-to-day goings on in a house of mostly boys: one big, two little.
