Get some other things back in check

Simplicity is the order of the day. Anxiety carries with it its own brand of drama and drama exacerbates anxiety, so it stands to reason that one key way to return to a peaceful center is to eschew drama, embrace simplicity. Be grateful for the love in my life, each form with its own order and chaos, texture and character. Venture forward on the road I’m on, one step at a time, looking ahead, of course, inhaling the scents and enjoying the scenery, remaining vigilantly observant but also letting my gaze blur toward the horizon once in awhile. Be mindful, just Be. I will keep walking, eyes wide, heart open. Simple as that.

That’s it. So far today I’ve made good, healthy choices. More importantly, I have made conscious, mindful ones. I am coming to terms with the realization that this is no time to trust my autopilot. My default settings are all askew. Time for some recalibrating, so no automatic anything. Mindful choices. Pre-meditated action, for today. Then tomorrow I will re-assess. And tomorrow. And tomorrow.
