Emoitonal/Mental

[caressa]

We tend to think of the rational as a higher order, but it is the emotional that marks our lives. One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment.

Each Day A New Beginning

Often I think more of the emotional upheaval than the mental aspect of comfort and peace because it seems that often the emotions have been in the forefront lately.

At times, when I do get reflective, it is often the turmoil I remember than the quiet times.

I can find the peace when things are chaotic. Yet when the peace is interrupted, the emotions tend to be frustrating and often unforgiveable in the moment. Hoiw dare you?

For so many years, I lived in the turmoil of other people emotions and seldom found any contentment of my own. To find my own space and have it respected is very important and necessary for me in today.

It is nice when you can go within and find that place of serenity and peace amongst all the chaos of life around me.

I did a meditation this morning because I was in pain and couldn't go back to sleep. The pain went away, but I still haven't gone back to sleep, but that is okay.

If I had gone back to bed, I wouldn't have been able to post on the site.
