gray... slow down. breathe. practice kindness. the world is still here. i am still here. here i am. everywhere , there is something beautiful.remember the mantra " my head is a free space" { became a nudging comedy of political analogies.) be gentle with yourself first. remind yourself to smile. life begins at 40 they say, couple of days to go, what will be the difference,all i ask is to be stress free.roll your neck from side to side and stretch.drink something hot if you’re cold or cold if you’re hot.eat something nourishing and delicious. listen to your favorite music, or read something inspiring. (i have a “gray day” playlist on spotify just for these days and an “awesome quotes” board on pinterest.) if you’re thinking mean thoughts, gently go back to love. smile at yourself in a mirror as you wash your hands.( god i look awfull, what am i doing,am i brain dead?) i feel small, like a : “this moment is so hard, . just breathe.” walk yourself gently through the steps you have to take. even when the steps are: do not hit this person. do not scream. do not throw this book at the neighbor who is mowing the lawn at five on an early morning. if you are having to interact with small or people who seem belligerent or hateful start over as many times as you need to until your words and deeds come out kindly. “please dont mown your grass at this hour lets try again without me pulling you around the corner and punch your face because i am in a bad mood and hungry.” if you say something harsh, come back to kindness and reframe the words, even if you only find them after the altercation. remind yourself you can’t see anyone else’s struggle: the woman who cut me off in traffic may have been told that morning that the lump in her breast was in fact, stage three. if only i can hold my loved ones closer. snuggle in. hold them close. bring them to my chest and feel the rise and fall of my breathing. this is where i should start. this is where it should end. i am only here while i breathe. all along the way, i should walk the path of kindness even when (especially when) it seems everything in the world conspires against it.

thank you so much kuya and you are miss by this wicked woman .. any form of obsessive thinking which serves no practical value, other than to make us suffer, will constitute negative thinking.there are times when majority of my waking hours are spent in negative thinking, i felt like living an insane life. i just i have to make a choice on whether i want to go through life in an insane manner or in a sane manner. Life is always asking you to make this one choice. Your negative thinking is nothing but a resistance to life itself. The only way to drop it is by bringing negative thought patterns to the light of your presence and scrutiny. Then you realize there was no truth to them to start with. im happy na kuya

one of the most difficult things we can do is go beyond our own perspective.majority of us see the world only from our own perspective, defining what we experience from one point angle , ours, only ours.this is when we find ourselves in pain , angry and blaming other people for their seeming insensitivities to our issues..this was the case maybe to your sister'sfriend.this one point perspective can cause misery because it can holed oneself into a mindset that refuses to see other angles to a situation, second perspective is when complain , of this and that arises and a person always feels pain and abandonment during conflict , this is a signal that lesson needs to learned. your sisters friend must learn to nurture herself.another thing is there should be a shift from taking to giving . becoming a giving person and not finding other people to always listen and nurture us and open us to loving relationships, be it in business, friendship or partnership......happy reading your blogs..im sooooo not myself lately...opps im not complaining...
