We All Have Those Days!

You know the ones where we wish we could stay in bed all day with our heads buried under the covers. When there it can feel deep, dark, and lonely. Being compassionate with ourselves allows us to find the grip hold we need to pull ourselves out of the hole we have fallen into. When you find yourself, in this place the best thing I have found to do is breathe, be patient with myself, and remember that judgement is based on fear. I will need another outlook to get me out of here. Compassion, love, grace serve as really great grip holds to give us the leverage needed to get out of the holes in life.   

Day 45 Hole, look back over the landscape of your life and notice the places in which you have fallen into a hole. Remember your brilliance, your capability, your endurance, and the success of getting out on your own. As you walk on the road of life, there will be opportunities for growth, take it as a sign that it is time to grow.

Over the last week, I fell into the hole of I "should" be further along this path than I am. It is a hole in which is dark, deep, and self made. I have been in this place many times before and have chosen a different road and yet here I am taking an old road hoping that someone as filled in the pot holes, and sink holes that can consume me. What was I thinking? That is my job and if I allow someone else to do it for me, It is guaranteed that I will find new ones until I face my work.

Life is amazing and it is here to assist us in getting where we want to be and where we are destined to be. It is so easy to get lost in the should, would, and could's of life so much that we miss the journey. My mother used to call this the can't help its. I want to express that we all have those days when we feel less inspired that we do on other days. It is important at that moment to breathe, and be compassionate with yourself. Adding more should's doesn't really help us to get out of the space we are in.

When I find myself in a hole, today I really take the time to love and console myself. It's ok we all have those kind of days. What is the best thing I can do right now to help me feel better? How can I love myself at a deeper level than before? When I am ready I ask the big question. What am I learning from this experience?

Once I get to that part of the journey I know that I will find the grips I need to help me find my way out of the hole I have places myself in. Once I am out I take some time to thank myself for a job well done. I take some time to breath and take it all in and I journey on.

Today I know that standing in judgement of where we are, and where we thought we should be is all based on the ego. The best thing I can do is to live in the present and let the rest go. The past is just that gone, complete, done. All I can do is be right here, right now. Let's make the most of it.

I love you,
