Slow down if you can and find that peace inside of you

That’s when inner peace finds you even if you are busy on the outside you can slow down your breathing and your thinking ... practicing this myself

Here’s a pic from my morning walk

P.s. breathe in through your nose filling up your stomach then breathe out through your nose ... filtering your thoughts can be hard I understand especially with intrusive thoughts but try to question the negative if you can’t simply discard them and then focus on what good you can find.

For me I get really upset being around s certain person who I need to be around for bits of time every day. I’m learning to ask myself why am I so angry because really it was all in the past all the trauma and it will suite me better if I leg go and leg him me anx let myself be and focus instead on being my best self regardless of what this person says or thinks. Thanks for listening

Have beautiful moments all day ✨

Thanks for the reminder. I found myself in pressured or impulsive behavior a few times the last few days. One led to saying something very unprofessional to a group of colleagues, and two times led to snapping at my wife. Not sure what's different. I don't think I have any mood issues right now. I have been getting a lot less exercise, though. I've been meditating almost every day, though.

That’s really good to acknowledge that you’ve been doing these behaviors and asking where they are coming from. It’s good you are taking care of yourself. I say (this is just what I’d do) keep a tab on what thoughts stream in and out and try to find a trigger or something that may be causing the behavior). What do you think so far that may be the reason if you do have an idea?

We haven't been running the air conditioner -- could I just be uncomfortable? Also, I had a chance to interview for a job that would be better in a few different (important) ways than what I have now, and I was conflicted about it. I wonder if that uncertainty was making me irritable?

Those could be contributing for sure. I’m glad you’ve found some reasons now you have somewhere to work from.

Nice picture.

One of my meditations says " breathe in love, breathe out love" I liked that concept when I heard it.

Grab peace wherever you can:)

Here's my morning walk picture

Solitude is my peace

Wow I love your pic so much. It’s like I’m there. You know your “breathe in love breathe out love” is the EXACT mantra I really desperately needed today. I’ve been feeling so ugly just a despicable person and I just before reading this decided ok I’m done being angry with this person now how to I help myself practice tolerating him how do I change? Well your mantra is one thing I think will help me if I recall it and listen to it. Thank you my psychic friend

I'm glad I shared when you really needed it. I love what it means. I say it all the time. I hope it helps.

You taught me a lot of photography. I loved looking at your pictures. I finally learned to capture a scene.

Reading time for me. Hope you are doing something good or doing nothing.... whatever you need at this moment in time.

Oh cool 😎 that you got some hints of photography from me. For me I make the camera position how I want it to look like I kind of change the first glance into something abstract usually at least that’s how I view it. I almost just shared a few photos artsy ones of me and my son but that’s not a good idea so .... too bad... I’ve said some intense stuff on here and would never want to put my family in a bad position by chance. Oh well.

You are so talented ⭐️. If you don't see it I will be sure to point it out .

Both you and Kkimm have inspired me to try this photography. There is so much beauty around us. It's nice to capture it and share it. Thank you for your kindness in letting me show you on your post.

Continue on my friend. You have great strength:)
