A New Years Mental Health Resolution!

 I did it!

Finally did it!

I made a New Years (Mental Health) Resolution!

Regardless of anything going on anywhere...

Im going to fall in love with my life again!!!!


I was operating at a total low point for 4+ months.

Maybe you all can relate?

2020 was difficult...

definitely not boring...


It came to a head for me when my body on the daily

struggled

struggled to just be

struggled to carry my energy

and it was no longer ignorable 

my mind set

my depression

my limbo

my disbelief 

my quicksand feelings

I really felt like I might not ever feel my normal again.


I gave into the process

I felt like the lows inside me

were meant to be

these lingering fallow moments

that stretched on in front of me

in what looked like an endless

hypnotic

highway

they were here to teach me. 


After this holiday season

when it came to me 

that the only way out

was to unflinchingly 

and completely 

fall back in love 

with my life!


Even though 

my life might not look like it did 

before last march

even though 

the road ahead might be rough 

I had One 

New Focus 

and it was a Great One!


That One lil Feeling 

of Sincere and Simple Intention

started turning things around.


Now 

I put this in my pocket

I will remember this 

This Moment

that made me Turn The Corner

at what felt like 

a real grim crossroad...


Maybe 

putting this out there

into the collective 

where you pick up 

or put down

things

good ideas

bad ideas

suggestions

judgements

insights

whatever...


Let It Be


Let Yourself Be Still


Let Yourself Be Able To Hear 


The Guidance

that lil voice inside your head

the inspirations

the nudges


For those moments 

that you don't pick up anything 

that's your cue 

to

BREATHE

Build up

Re-Build

Gather all the Strength

Put your feelers out

for New Opportunities 


I hope

maybe

that this helps just one more person

and 

maybe 

that person

helps just one more person...


I see you on your journey


I see you
