Coming Home

Coming Home We have all been in situations where we have felt uncomfortable. That feeling might have become poignant in a moment of being unwelcome in some way, or maybe just unfamiliar. Maybe pain was the reason to be uncomfortable, physical or emotional. Either way, we I believe we all yearn to feel as though we belong, that we are welcome, a feeling of goodness in the air surrounding. Often external forces in our lives can cause us to feel pain or uncomfortable, possibly affecting us slowly, so slowly we barley notice until it all hits a maximum. When I wake up in the morning I ask myself, “How do I feel?” I scan my physical body for pinches in the muscles or tight spots, my emotional state and my mental focus. I ask myself, “Do I feel at home?” Life’s seasons change and at times we are in a job we detest, we have a broken heart, we are in love, we are promoted, sometimes nearly catatonic with boredom, other times inspired and motivated. No matter the moment, I try to remember to be present, and to remember that my attitude, and perception of the matter is in my hands. With that said, we as humans are very powerful. He have choice. If a job, lifestyle, environment is causing us to be ill, or diseased in anyway, we have the power to make choices to change things. These actions can require patience to witness manifestation of said action and result. However, sometimes it can all happen quickly and dynamically. To me, the point and the goal is to accept it all for what it is, take the lessons that come along the way, and strive to be the best human I can be, no matter what; ultimately feeling truly at home in my own skin. I was reminded of these ideas this morning by my own beloved teacher, recharging me so, I feel it would be selfish to keep this reminder to myself, as a result, a simple reminder to you too.
