NOTES FROM THE AWARENESS: 1472

Not off track

Sometimes we can feel like we’re going along fine and then bam, thing suddenly seem to go astray or don’t feel right. It can be confusing. Why have things suddenly shifted?

We might interpret this as a sign that we’re off track and need to do something different. And this might possibly be the case. But it also might not be true.

Creation is varied and variable. Nothing stays the same and things may not always seem optimal to us.

The same is true of our personal weather. Sometimes it’s sunny and pleasant and sometimes it rains or is foggy. We may not always have perfect days, but that doesn’t mean we’re doing something wrong. It simply indicates that life isn’t steady state.

When faced with this sort of temporary confusion or discomfort, a brief course of being gentle with ourselves is in order. Perhaps we just need to rest and contemplate for a bit. Relaxing into the shift may be all we need to do to feel better about it.

If this doesn’t work, we can always proceed to deeper rumination and possible course correction.

Today’s message reminds me that personal grey days aren’t a problem. They’re an opportunity to relax, accept, and breathe. Greater self-love is always indicated.

Please reflect and share. What do you do when you’re having a difficult day?
