2. Doing what I'm calling "Getting out of the trance"
Mon Nov 26, 2012, 12:33 AM
Nov 2012


when things seem out of control, and I have so much piled up I don't know where to start, it's easy to spend too much time contemplating and lamenting the scenario. Then I get distracted from working toward goals. I call that a "trance."

So when I catch myself escaping into worry and too much negative meditation, I say "get out of the trance!" and start on something productive.

I don't want to waste the rest of my life worrying. Or in some trance where I'm thinking of all I lack. Or scared to death of what COULD or MIGHT happen.

Also I am just going with the flow of this wacked out universe - so far so good. I'm not where I need to be, but I am working more and more to get there. I am working on being there for people who need someone to be there, trying to support people with few options and wondering how to get ahead to help more people.

But getting out of the trance, getting more disciplined, opening myself up to the moment and expecting to be okay are all helping right now.

Hope you find your missing something
