passing this moment



It’s amazing what the mind can do and you can run right into the heart of the problem you’ve created and write about it and if you were to write about it you would give it more power than it even deserves and so the best thing to do is to carry on because there is only the present and nothing more.

The first thing you tell yourself in the morning is very important. If you say to yourself “I’m responsible for how I feel today,” that’s good. Take that statement a little further, wear it around your neck as you wash, dress, and leave the house. Then at some point in the day, you would have forgotten the struggle, and you’d feel quite free. Once you get better, the process of having to mind what you tell yourself in the morning becomes less important, almost useless, and you’ll discover other more concrete worries to colour your day. Slackness leads you to let your guard down. But even when things get heavy again, you’ll have this routine well rehearsed so that you’ll be walking straight when everything else is a little fuzzy and slanted.
