DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF GROWING OLDER.
January 28, 2016
Empathy
It's been a few weeks where I've kind of felt like the rug has been pulled out from underneath me a little bit. With a couple of things that have been going on.
I've felt sadness, anger, anxiety and not like the usual me.
I've even had the odd thought that I need to read Lines of Beauty and better ground myself!
I've needed to take my own advice or someone else's.
The good news is that I feel things shifting as of late and I'm in a much better place.
One thought that came to me, from my friend Cindy, is that we have to go through the darkness to see the light.
Which I think is totally true.
So while I've been moving through it, I've been making a point to do a few other things:
* Stop worrying about the things that I can't control.
* Trust the process.
* Continue to listen to my heart and allow myself to feel and express what I'm feeling.
* Stay well with exercise, whole food and sleep.
*Look for the silver lining.
* Be present and patient and keep working things through.
Feel free to add any of your own words of wisdom, dear readers of mine.
