A Message from Noelyne....
The last few days since my partner came out of hospital have been challenging, which has been quite a surprise to me. It's all about change and disruption to normal routines and of course seeing someone you love in considerable pain. And for some reason I have not been handling things as well as I could. And it's starting to show in my behaviour in that I felt irritable going to bed. I know the theory yet the reality and experience can sometimes get the better of you....if you allow it to. Do you find that happens to you? You know that you should be feel grateful and happy and calm yet you are disrupted and it's a struggle to overcome the irritability and stop the tension from growing inside. You know that you have chosen to do this and you wouldn't really have it any other way yet you feel tense and tired and out of sorts?
So I grabbed 10 mins before breakfast to sit in the conservatory and do a little meditation. I've got out of the habit of doing this over the past few months by allowing other things to take priority. During my meditation I identified a couple of things that are probably the cause of the problem. Thankfully they are both short term situations and I know they will change although I'm not sure when. Lets hope sooner rather than later.
On the radio they were talking about peace of mind and that describes exactly what I don't have right now. I know this because I did have it and this isn't it. Do you know what it feels like to have complete peace of mind?
What can you do if you don't have peace of mind? Change something. Either yourself or the problem. The fact that you are aware that you don't have peace of mind is the first step, so well done. Now you can take responsibility to get peace of mind. Imagine what it will feel like when you do have it. What will be happening? What will you be doing and saying?
What's stopping you from having peace of mind now? Identify the cause of the problem then look for a solution and take action. If it's a short term situation that's causing the lack of peace of mind, you can choose to accept the situation knowing that it will get better. In the meantime manage your own peace of mind through meditation or whatever you do to help you feel calm and relaxed. Here's a few additional suggestions:
- go for a walk, go for a swim, yoga, pilates, breathing exercises
- affirmations or positive self talk
- have a cup of tea, glass of wine and put your feet up
- have a massage
- go shopping
- spend at least 10 minutes a day alone, turn the radio and TV off and just be.
