Foot prints in the sand only last for a moment before they get washed away by the ocean waves. Just like life, as I keep stepping what remains in the past is already gone. Even though I intelligently understand that, my brain wants to press the replay button over and over again.

Everytime to the hits reel would start, I would remind myself to let them float by as if on a cloud. As I imagined these thoughts floating by, I would actively not allow emotions to become part of the story, then release them.

Today has been all about finding stillness in the present, no matter how challenging embodying awareness is, when chaos has ruled my mind for so long. The pursuit of stillness is worth it, the peace, the calm, feels sofly exhilarating.

I am still a newbie at stillness within, I am grateful for God’s guidance, whenever I got off track he would steer me back home to calm. Why am I doing this, it’s a loving gift to myself, my nervous system, whole body health. I am grateful, thankful, and blessed. Amen!
