This morning’s meditation.
Bring the calm.
In times past I would match every emotion. I would match anyone’s anger to the point of rage.
I would match disrespectful sarcasm with deep cuts.
I would end relationships if my expectations were not met.
After any episode I would replay the experience over in my head a thousand times.
Causing myself so many health issues.
Until I desired something different.
I wanted to feel calm.
Over these many years I have tried many tactics, and I came to meditation, and prayer, which for me is saying thank you.
Starting each morning with a series of gratitude statements, taking ten minutes for meditation, continuing my appreciation during the day and stopping to meditate throughout the day has caused a shift in my perceptions of myself and the world.
Living in acceptance over the fact that nothing outside of me needs to control the inside of me.
Every being is exactly who and what they are supposed to be in my life today.
Each experience is an opportunity for me to learn more about myself.
Today I choose to bring the calm in every experience.
May you create your calm.
You are Loved.
