Matters Of Life And Death

So, yah.  Today started out rough.

It seems like all the little things that I perceive as challenges have built upon one another and feel like a mountain to climb…and changing my perspective, focusing on the good, begin grateful…is tough.

Life, with all of its requirements and demands are weighing on me and I’m finding it difficult to shift my energy and let go, to allow for what is to be as it is.  I “know”, in my brain, what I “need” to do to feel better but I feel unable to do it.  It’s like my feet are stuck in mud and I can’t get them out.

It’s a struggle.

How do I let go?  How do I relinquish the struggle?

(Pause…breathe in deeply….exhale slowly…)

I do it by releasing the desire to hold on.  Like exhaling slowly, releasing breath to the space around me, I release the tension that represents the resistance and allow…allow for what is to be.  Allow for everyone and everything to be.   Allow for me to just be, even for a moment.  To have compassion for and love for me, feeling the way I’m feeling, not wishing to change it, just allowing.  And allowing.  And allowing….to keep allowing and breathing as the seconds tick by.

I’m already feeling better.  More centered.  All is well, no matter what.

Love to you.
