I can’t speak for anyone else, but I found March a strange month. Everyone seemed mad about something.
Even Facebook lost its fun vibe and became a place of misery. Sarcasm became cruel. Opinions became shouting matches. Anger was the emotion of the day (whether people realized they were or not). Even kind lil ole me took a few hits to the head (and heart) from friends who ripped into me for reasons I didn’t understand.
The world was spinning and I needed to get off the ride.
So I tuned out for a while.
By dialing down my interactions with others I gained back free time to spend however I wished. Winter sports and forest hikes/bikes were a priority. Time spent connecting with family and best friends filled my heart with joy. Three rooms got painted – with the rest of the house following. And every nook and cranny of our little place has been cleaned and sorted. Junk hit the curb in an alarming rate.
Sometimes we need to step away from the warp-speed spinning of life to reacquaint ourselves with who we are – what we stand for – what we believe. We need to clear the clutter of our connection to the world at large so that we can clear the clutter from our own inner space. In doing so we rediscover our own spirit and can hear it’s calling with clarity.
And then we can re-enter the big old world - on our own terms.
I FEEL GREAT!!
Never underestimate your own power in creating a peaceful world – even if it’s just yours. You are worth it!
