No not in a Jedi sense, today has been a bit of a bad hair day, generally feeling tramp like and unfulfilled - its my fault I had a lie in. I know, tut tut.
I had this unshakable feeling of doom, you know that raincloud peeing over your head that wont go away! That is until I read this...
“Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.”
- Pema Chödrön, Buddhist nun & best-selling author.
From the blog the daily love it has echoed the outlook I have, rather than feeling down in the dumps, though it might be hard understanding WHY you feel like that is so helpful.
It puts YOU back in the driving seat and allows you to avoid the same downward spiral over and over. So I'm kicking my butt into gear, getting reorganised and am getting back on that early morning work!
OK, so progress report tomorrow on how my web page is falling into place!
Till then, chin up!
