Settle yourself.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Welcome to a hit of hope.
Find peace.
If only it were that easy.
There are presents to buy,
Groceries to get,
Food to make,
Traffic jams to endure.
There is clickbait to follow.
What is my spirit animal?
What would my romance novel author name be?
Here's the thing.
Life is not going to slow down.
Life is not going to help you focus and settle.
Life is not going to bring you peace and hand it to you on a platter.
Life and by life I mean other people with all kinds of agendas,
Good,
Bad,
Indifferent.
Life is out to distract you.
Life is out to make you feel less than.
Life is out to make you feel that the only answer is to buy,
Do,
Rush,
Compete.
Life is not going to hand you peace on a platter.
Peace like lasagna doesn't just happen.
You can try and buy it,
Sure.
You can try shortcuts or you can work as hard at finding peace,
At being grounded as you do at everything else in your life.
Finding peace,
Being grounded,
They should not be the last things you do.
They should not be the first things you cut from your life when life gets crazy.
So settle yourself.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
To find peace you have to do the work.
Sit,
Breathe,
Here,
Now.
Namaste.
