Sunday Afternoon - Back to Basics

I was with my family today and I kind of got knocked off balance while visiting with everyone on zoom


and then in person too. I kind of have been going too much with my own design of life this morning and afternoon....



and I realized, just now that I am back home and have put things/myself back into perspective, that I have to think


about BACK TO BASICS...in terms of taking care of myself...



I forget and lose my place if I think too much of 'my idea of things.' I know I want to go back to the monastery some day and I was thinking about that


earlier today as a place that I really would like to be and find some peace and predictability to life.


A spiritual family.



All I know is that my mind has changed so much since that thought earlier today


that it's making me just reclaim myself now that I am home with a reminder to get 'back to basics.'


I hope you guys are having a good day!!!


peace,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I hope you find what it is that you are looking for as far as your Back to Basics approach goes. When I’ve had to make big sweeping life changes I really detailed every little thing in therapy and set goals each day. Breaking it down into basics, so to speak.

Wishing you happiness and peace as you sort through things.

Here’s to a good week ahead! Hope Blue keeps you going this week.

I was going to say earlier that we all at some point have to deal with finding our structure in life that supports us in the way we need.
I am definitely realizing that what that thing is that I need. Right now I want to be around people but I am choosing other things to help me cope. I am realizing that I can’t do that blindly..
