I hear people say that they feel anxious lately without sometimes no reason. Sometimes they experience sleeplessness or bad dreams, even nightmares, wake up tired, and sometimes even more tired when they go to bed. Many times we experience negativity and anxiety. We feel anger or frustration, doubt, and worries that are coming up to the surface. And again, many times, this happens without any particular reason. It hits us all of a sudden.
Ten years ago, when I came to this country from Hungary. The first thing I joined was a meditation group that I am still part of to this day. I started to take classes with the teacher, Natlie. And one of the first exercises she asked me to do was writing a love letter to myself.
The Topic of the Day: Sprinkling Ourselves With Love. It’s a beautiful, vast subject; it encompasses so many different layers. We can talk about loving ourselves on the physical level or the emotional level or mental and spiritual level and a combination of all.
As a new American, it was beautiful to experience the ceremony regardless of political affiliation. And what I saw was an opening to heal, heal ourselves, and heal each other. There were many opportunities to heal in Tuesday’s story also. Some took the opportunity, some didn’t.
I want to bring you the message that you have everything to rise through your challenge, face your challenge, and your obstacle. But here is something else to remember. We don’t have to do that alone. Even if you don’t see it right now, there are people around you, so it doesn’t have to be your burden alone. The weight can be lifted with others who also understand that this life is about lessons. This life is about seeing what is there to learn, to grow.
