Crazy is not my life.
I'm on earth during a time when the internet exists and introspection is hard to find.
Gosh,
I can know so much about so many people with just a few taps or clicks,
Yet I wonder how well I really know myself,
Especially the me that's doing this season of life with all its joys,
Fears,
Challenges,
Tears.
I know there's always been some crazy things happening in this world,
But it's never been seen,
Heard,
Or read as quickly,
Easily,
And conveniently as it is today.
Gone are the gatekeepers to how I get my news and information,
Except one gatekeeper remains,
The most powerful gatekeeper of them all,
And it's me.
Crazy is not my life.
Crazy will not be my life.
There can be crazy in the world,
But that craziness is not coming inside me.
It's not coming inside my head,
My body,
Or my heart.
I keep informed with what's going on outside my house.
I stay informed with what's happening in my country.
I still keep up with the news about the whole universe,
But I'm also keeping myself in check to keep myself useful even when there's horrible,
Scary,
And crazy things happening so I can be the change I wanna see,
So my optimism,
Strength,
And maturity doesn't atrophy.
I get that I can't determine what I'm going to hear about and how I'm gonna feel about it every time I use the internet,
But I do take action and manage anxiety,
Sadness,
And disbelief with the best self-care I know to give myself.
I also recognize when I reach the edge of what I can handle and take action to pull myself back because crazy is not my life.
I stay grounded and rooted.
I take deep,
Cleansing breaths.
I make time to process deep,
Painful emotions.
There's a lot of feelings here.
I feel it all,
But I don't get lost in it.
I keep my focus.
I stick to my values,
And I remember I need to keep up my relationship with myself because all this craziness can bring me down or all this craziness can remind me to keep building myself up so I can be a light in my world.
Crazier it gets,
The calmer and more rooted and grounded I get.
The crazier it gets,
The more I love and care for myself.
Crazy is not my life.
I am focusing on my self-love,
Self-worth,
And self-growth.
I am working on taking my unconscious and subconscious to the conscious.
I am moving on taking my evolution,
Enlightenment,
And empowerment to the next level.
Crazy is not my life.
I am sticking to what lights and warms my heart.
I am keeping with what nourishes and feeds my soul.
I am hanging out with hope,
Optimism,
And resiliency.
It takes more effort than ever to find true solitude,
So I make a point to choose it.
I also choose reflection,
Meditation,
And introspection.
I choose wisdom,
Equanimity,
And groundedness.
I am anchored.
No matter how cray-cray things may get,
I am anchored.
I am rooted.
I am built to stand no matter how crazy it may get.
I stay inside me,
And all the craziness stays outside of me.
I am the gatekeeper in my life,
And I am taking great love and care of my life,
And I am taking great love and care of myself.
I am anchored.
I am built to stand.
