Your posts, Rick and everyone’s responses to them.❤️

My first response to this question is to be tuned into the things that don’t make me feel alive. I have found that there are many tiny thoughts that creep across my mind in the course of a day which make me feel ‘not right.’ They are often so subliminal that l can’t even pick out what thought has made me feel this way, l can only tell by the way l am feeling. Sometimes l carry on for quite some time before l address the issue but l am getting better at addressing the cause of the ‘off’ feeling. By looking with awareness at how l am feeling then the off feeling lifts and l feel that aliveness that you are referring to. A short version of this answer is that l can do everything feeling alive when l address the things that get in the way of my aliveness.❤️

I am in a season of new everything. I am embracing all of the new experiences, new town, new house, new people, new events. I love change so am revelling in this one and it is reflecting that back to me in the experiences l have.

I am tempted to say everything,🤣 but will stick with almost all of the things that my mind deemed to be ‘bad’ when they were occurring. In hindsight they were either powerful learning experiences or had a twist in the tail that meant that they weren’t actually bad after all. The big picture is a clear image of the tiny piece of the jigsaw puzzle we are currently standing on. It often looks like a confused blur from our limited perspective but when we see the whole it is an image of beauty. If the mind doesn’t step in to label things as bad, then we are more able to relax and wait and then see the good that can often result.
