Putting the Puzzle Pieces Back Together Again
Dear Universe,
The world feels a lot different today than yesterday which for me was roses and sunshine and joy. Today the skies are gray and the wind is shifting and moving and soon the front garden will be speckled with pine needles and leaves. My mind woke up with feelings of uncertainly, and later in the morning I was confronted with an uncertain experience. I could feel stress moving in and instead of dealing with it with my toolkit of self care (silence, meditation, writing, breathing, energy healing, taking a walk, etc.) I went and got a Starbucks Americano. As the hours passed, I realized what an unwise choice it was, caffeine without food makes me jittery, though it provides immediate comfort it does not ultimately address my feelings and stress.
And so now I breathe, and now I will take the time and sort through my feelings and piece myself back together again as if I was completing a puzzle. Keeping ourselves together is a daily practice, sometimes an hourly practice depending on what's going on in our lives.
