Yet, if we back away from the moment (feeling), outside of our feelings, we can choose to look at the moment in a way that is kinder to our own self. We can choose to see it in a different light if we choose to do just this.
When I was sick and immobile in bed, when I looked at what could go wrong, it was not helpful. In fact, it was hurtful. When I chose to be true and loving to myself in each breath, I knew - even though I wasn’t having fun (ha!) - that underneath what was going on (or is it above), I was okay. I had ailments and things that were off/wrong/confusing and hurtful and I knew that I was still okay. I was living. I was breathing. I was alive. I was coping; even when it could feel like I was not.
May you know that you are okay right here right now no matter what is going on. May you know that your survival rate thus far is 100% and that’s pretty good odds.
Underneath our humanness - or is it above it - there is a presence that resides in each of us that is the watcher, the outsider; perhaps, always open and able to choose and believe in ‘okayness’.
I wish you your own belief and experience in feeling/knowing/being okay through anything and everything human.
