I am alive and blessed. Had a good day today. I didn't do much, simply hung around the house. Found myself doing some self reflecting. I was able to get some journaling done. I even spent some time organizing my room.
I admit I felt a little guilty over the simplicity of my task. Yet we go through different phases in life. I find that during this phase I'm needing to solidify my core beliefs. I hit a complicated goal recently, and unfortunately I didn't set another. That left floundering around trying to figure out what was next.
I recently read a book called Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. In it the devil mentions a person who's full of opinions yet none of them was his own. That left me considering my beliefs. I've been questioning if my beliefs are my own, or have I simply been leaning on others beliefs.
I also recently read Nonviolent communication by Marshall Rosenberg. In that book he addresses the need to understand your feelings. I've heard it mentioned many times, yet for some reason it home this time. Many times I find myself feeling anxious yet not knowing why. Simply taking a moment to understand what I'm feeling really has had an impact on me. He even helps clarify the difference between true feelings and assumptions. It's been helping me get a better grasp on who I am, and what I actually want. This has made the acceptance, that I truly am blessed, easier.
