Sometimes, it’s best to:
Take, a breath.
Take, a moment.
Take, a step back.
Take, your time.
Pause.
Breathe.
Step, away.
Away from the emotion of the thing. Often times, it’s not what is going on that gets us going. It’s how we allow ourselves to feel about the thing. Or, how we don’t/won’t allow ourselves to have feelings about the thing.
Turns out, the thing, the happening, is besides the point. The point is how we are doing, at the time, in the moment.
It has not been easy to separate my mood from the moment(s). I have not known if the moment, has caused my particular mood. Or, if my mood has caused the moment because of my mood, at the moment. LOL.
Sometimes, it has been one, the other, or both.
Either way, it’s important to not allow our feelings, our lack thereof, to run the show. We can NOT hand off our responsibility of continuing to move forward, to keep doing what’s right, to keep trying, to keep giving, to keep living.
Pause.
Breathe.
Step, away.
Time, to reboot.
Time, to refresh.
Time, to look around to truly see where you are, where you have been, where you would like to go, where you would like to move away from.
In the meantime, beloveds, stop being so hard on yourselves. It’s NOT your lot to save the entire world, to save anyone, really. ALL we can do is to do the very best we can and leave the outcomes to God and Life.
We, plant.
The plant, grows.
When the plant, grows, we, harvest.
Rinse.
Repeat.
It’s NOT our fault, beloveds, when things don’t grow as high, as much, or not at all.
All we can do, is what we can do, and leave the outcome to come out the way that it comes.
Understanding this has helped me to press pause, much faster. I no longer kick my own hind end for not understanding, not understanding fast enough, not being fast enough, not being able to do as much.
I do, as I can.
I give, as I can.
I love, as I can.
I try, best I can.
Then, I leave the outcomes to what ever comes out!
Plant.
Water.
Nourish.
Wait.
Harvest.
Pause.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Time to pause, to have another cup of coffee and a scrumptious mini cinnamon roll. Yummers.
Keep moving, forward. Be sure, though, to take a pause, take a rest, take a break as many times as needed.
resting/pausing with you,
Cassandra
