Hi Chugcoffee 🙂

It’s uncomfortable when you leave a meditation session with discomfort. Having a clear purpose about something right for you. As you might have hear others say before, it’s as simple as listening to your breathing or listening to sounds in your surrounding environment. Remember, it doesn’t have to be a deep serious session, it depends on your mood, feelings, thoughts you like to recognize within you. It’s a amazing feeling of the heart when you settle down your mind on it. Knowing from the beginning what you want to learn from your meditation sessions will help you in the long run.

I can relate to that dissociative feeling or vagueness from experiencing a repetitive thoughts. If you don’t respond well with certain thoughts then just remind yourself that it’s okay to let them go. More thoughts can blossom and when they do, get excited and eager to take good care of them and express them wholeheartedly because that’s the beauty in understanding and looking at the world differently with a pounding excited refreshed heart.

Walking in people’s shoes too can get you to realize sights, sounds,thoughts you never imagined before, those ups and downs.

I’m going to share with you this video that can reach your very special heart:

Blessings and Hope things begin to turn around for you,

I hope your work situation has improved, I understand that walking away helps for the drama to subside because the gossiper realizes that they don’t have a listen ear when they begin their negative talk towards you. Also, I agree with Katie it’s okay to change the topic if you don’t something to add or want to cheer the person up by telling them about your day and what you found interesting. I hope this works for you and keep strong 🙂

Just remember, whatever you decide about your long-term goals, the span of time is a choice you can make. Life happens and it can spoil a life you were satisfied with. From experience living without much application to one’s life, I know how it feels to be trapped by uncertainty to change. However, learning to trust your adaptabilities to those changes will give you things in life that you couldn’t have imagined. You can decide to teach for a few years and when you think you have given all your heart towards the purpose of teaching than I don’t see why it wouldn’t be necessary to move on. Although it’s frightening to seek or make changes in life, realistically the challenges are worth time and effort to make them; imagine how good it’s going to be to start now and not holding yourself down! Tracking or writing your progression down might help. Jerry Seinfeld writes one chain to mark what he wanted to achieve for the day so if he breaks the chain he will know. My heart goes out to you to find what you feel that lays closest to your heart 🙂 GOOD LUCK! 🙂

Hey April,

There’s so many emotions and experiences that comes with drawing that unreally beautiful and exotic. Drawing really helps to get me to appreciate the life for it’s beauty. However, when I first began drawing, I have a similar experience with you that drawing helped with aggression and coping with anxiety I had with people, but you bring up a good point to why do I draw and I think it would be interesting to learn how it spiraled. What I see is expressive lines and somewhat of a clear serene existence that I visually imagine as a surfer on a wave (I don’t know how to surf though, but it’s fun for me to imagine doing an fascinating sport like that) but I hope you feel this too the next time you draw, is feeling what the drawing does to your every breath.
