It’s been awhile since I’ve checked in, so I am a little out of the loop as far as the daily prompts. I have been helping a friend deal with their recovery process and as a result have let my own recovery take a backseat. I feel alright with this because before I would have just thrown myself into helping another and stopped caring for myself at all. But now I am aware of the situation and continued my daily meditation and doing other activities that I find to be positive in my life. I did find it quite rewarding to be in a place in my life where I can assist a friend and offer help and answers because I had been there before. A lot of that has come through my work with Beverly and the webinars and live calls. It is a different feeling to be on the other end of the relationship, and I enjoyed it very much. It has also strengthened my feelings about my life choices and the path I am currently moving on. As for yesterday’s prompt about the Spiritual level, I feel lucky to have been on vacation in the mountains where I grew up. I noticed how much more I feel connected to myself and the world as a whole when I am venturing outside in nature. It brings a calm and joy to me which is different than when I am inside to often. My goal when I get back from vacation is to take 15 minutes a day to enjoy my surroundings. Whether that is taking my dog to the beach or park or just meditating outside.
So glad you check-in Chas. Sounds like you had a good experience of helping someone else on their path. Good noticing about nature and I like how you will incorporate it into your practice.
