A little rambling

As stated in the title, hear is a little rambling. I feel a need to get my thoughts out of my head. So I bring them here.

Today is Sunday, and I am feeling down. Yesterday was such a great day. I hung out with friends and had such a great time laughing and talking and just being. And today is the lull after the fun. It's the floor dropping from beneath. I glad to have this alone day but a part of me hates it. It's a love hate relationship. Needing the down time but feeling the same blanket of sad that comes with it.

Now is the time to find the beauty in the alone time.

Hi Dot, Life is about expecting the good with the bad, the happiness and sad

as well as the sun and the rain. How unfulfilling life would be if it were always

perfect. We wouldn't appreciate the moments of happiness and smiles. The

off days are about making time to regenerate within ourselves. Find meaningful

things to do on our own as we grow and experience our own capabilities and self worth.

Enjoying your evening with friends last night was like Christmas to a child. Once the

excitement and gifts are all unwrapped, the next day can be a downer knowing another

year must go by before this feeling happens again.

But that doesn't have to be so. The 300 and sixty days in between can be memorable

and just as exciting as we celebrate life each day. It's not what others give to us but

what we give to ourself. Embrace your evening last night but celebrate tonight in

being alone and safe and healthy and all the other gratitudes we have around us. :) xx

I love your analog of a good day being like opening presents on Christmas. That's exactly how it feels. And yes, the other days in between can be just a great, even if some are used for recuperation

Hey Dot! I can definitely relate to that kind of feeling. I have felt it before for sure!

It’s like the high is over and back to the drudgery of everyday life.

I’m sorry, I hope it passes fast for you!

Okay Dot l get it life seems comfortable when we are the the flow zone of humility and compassionate self esteem is cherished when knowing that you share the same perspectives with those who share the same values choosing to learn from self identity who you are as a person be empowered what is relevant in relationships is important steps to building that energy process leaving negative emotive behind which does not serve that higher purpose sometimes the need to look at the inner work self that May be conflicting dismissing it with words which are more relative to state of being if you change the concious negativity chatter which blocks self worth it can help move barriers worry or concern

Inner work I'd some of the most difficult yet rewarding things to do. But all I all, like you said changing the negative chatter allows more and better to come

I know for me when I have a really good day, the next day is almost like a hang over day. It is like I was so social that it tires me out. I too had a great Saturday but developed a headache Saturday night which continued all through Sunday. No matter what I did, the headache was there. It was like I was so over stimulated, being happy, that my brain couldn't handle it.

I'm sorry thay you're able to relate. It's interesting how the body can tell us when a situation is too much before we even realize it. But it's like anything in life, it takes consistency to really make a change and continue that change
