nano day #12
zero words. lol.
but i had a lovely day at my training. my favorite thing from today's lesson is the notion that there's no such thing as wandering away from one's true path, meaning the things that one might think of as wrong steps are really also just a part of one's path. i love the notion that it is impossible to wander off one's true path. a corollary would be that no time in my life has been wasted time, because it's all been a part of my path to this moment. :D
also, that whenever we have an emotion that makes us miserable, it's not because of whatever thing that happened that we think is the cause. it's because of the thought that we had about what happened that is out of alignment with what we know to be true about who we are. so if something happens and i feel bad, it's not because - oh, as an example, i post a story and get no reviews. it's not the fact that nobody reviewed the story that makes me miserable. it's that then i have the thought, my story sucks and maybe even the thought that i suck. when really, i know that my story doesn't suck or i would never have posted it, and i know that even if my story did suck, that would hardly mean that i suck.
anyway, this stuff might sound very obvious, but i'm sharing it in case it is useful or helpful to anybody.
oh, and on a completely different note, i got this. :D
*hugs*
