I am finding rhythm in my days again... after some disruption of work and travel. The rhythm almost ritualistic nature of waking, washing, dressing, eating, everyday is soothing and calming. When the timing is off or necessarily compressed, it takes time for me to decompress. It takes me more time than it might for others. I am curious as to why that might be.
Balance and calm should follow where ever I go, IF my peace of mind is STRONG. Nothing should disrupt my peace of mind. This week, along with my writing exercises, I will cultivate my Peace. Find that inner strength, that river of hope that is always flowing, moving and forging ahead, never looking back.
It takes discipline to be at Peace, particularly when the world is crazy around you changing all the time. You have to fight for your Peace, for your right to be calm, and exercise this right everyday. Your right to say "No, thanks" I don't need this right now. I am changing too, hopefully towards a more peaceful, calmer and less anxious me.
To write even when I am not "in the mood", takes discipline too. So I can mirror these two rhythm finding, disciplining processes together -- somehow, I am not sure how to do this. More patience is needed for this. Any ideas?
