I’ve been fairly sad and lonely over this last few days and, though it’s been unpleasant, it’s also been really useful. I hate when I end up feeling that way so whenever I do I take steps to get over it.
One of the things I did this time was write. Sure it was mostly self serving drivel about the state of my life, but it did serve it’s purpose which was to move that horrible emotion out of me and onto the paper. It was enough of a catalyst to get me started on moving toward a better place.
The success of that simple strategy made me think about other things that work for me, most precisely the formula that works best.
1) think about what you want, what you really, really, with all your heart desire. Think about how wonderful it will be to have that thing and how much fun and excitement and happiness it will bring. Then let it go.
2) be grateful for what you already have. There are blessings in everything so look for them.
3) have fun. Go forth and enjoy your life.
I think I’ve been practicing everything very half heartedly and that is no go what so ever.
This is my life. It’s pretty great just the way it is. I have lots of dreams and places and things that I want to achieve, but if this is all there is, well that’s pretty damn great as well. I’m going to have some fun and enjoy myself.
