What all this reflexive writing has made me realize
I am content,more so than usual.
A weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My neck and back feel less tense.
A huge sigh of relief.
Compassion has gotten me thus far. Lightheartedness will pull me through the bad days. Optimism will help me move forward from this point. Some days will be better than others. Eventually I will get to a point where I won't be so difficult on myself...all the time. That's a head space I can live with.
That isn't too much to hope for, is it? With all the superficial bullshit flying around me. I think its only fair, I am able to find some inner peace. Thoughtful, or rather, thoughtless meditation is something I am going to have to incorporate into my day. Thinking about nothing to achieve mindfulness is tough. Even the most practiced individuals struggle with this. Releasing stress in this manner is going to help me a whole bunch.
Unfortunately, this will be a tough journey for me. So, I figure the best thing to do is take it one day at a time. Everyone, including me, needs to start small. Right?
