Change is the only constant, but why am I having a hard time with it?

I didn’t think I’d have a hard time with change, but I do. It’s like I’m having withdrawals…my mind keeps thinking about the past or the future, anywhere but here. I miss my dog. I miss my loved ones, but then, again, I can get easily overwhelmed with too much stimuli. It’s like I want more social connection, but I have very little energy left at the end of the day, at the end of a long work day, at the end of a long week.

It’s a practice though. This life and living is vulnerable, and I’m trying my best, and I know that it is all I can do - to keep showing up each day cuz I don’t know if I’ll wake up tomorrow. Life is not a guarantee really, so friends, just do your best and forget the rest..or try to. Sigh.

It’s okay to feel the feelings, be present with them, name them, and let them get all cozy up with you. After all they could end up teaching you a thing or two. Feelings are also changing, they come and go. Nothing lasts forever…enjoy these present, precious moments, one breath at at time.

Breathe deep. Rejuvenate your cells. Smile. Keep calm and carry on.

Music I’m listening to get me through the week: Jeff Kaale’s Pillow Talk and Cookie.
