Yesterday was rough. It was one of those days where I went from grumpy to angry to sad to flat to worried to afraid to lonely to resentful to frustrated to annoyed to hopeless to melancholy to…
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
I couldn’t put my finger on it. I couldn’t snap myself out of it. I simply had to live with it and let it pass. It was one of those days that I simply wanted to be over. End of story.
Thankfully, I am recognizing days like yesterday for what they are. A transition day of sorts, and as we all know, transitions can be tough as we move from one state or condition to another.
Transition days usually come on the heels of something big. A big event. An emotional upheaval. A long anticipated adventure coming to an end.
Transition days are when I need to practice not acting on what I think or feel.
Transition days are when I need to practice not taking things out on those around me.
Transition days are when I need to not take myself or my dark thoughts too seriously.
Transition days are when I need to hold my heavy emotions lightly.
This morning I woke up on the right side of the bed. Whatever it was had slipped out during the night, and my heart was at peace.
What a difference a day makes.
