When days are “shit”, or not going as you like, and you possibly could be deeper than the ocean and feel all alone, maybe it is a lesson for the day. Maybe it is a lesson for the week or whatever time that is holding you down.

Take note of all the factors that the “shit” brings. Maybe I should rephrase to “bog”. For some that S word could be offensive, but really bog sounds a like more PG. Back to the bog. Have a look, feel into what the “bog” brings. What contributors are there for you to be feeling this way? Or acting this way? Treating others this way? Hmmm if you notice anything which you probably will, how do you feel now?

This is where I sit outside, barefoot and in nature alone. Pen, paper and water bottle too, as long as there is quiet for my mind to have no human interruption. I then analyse what is going on or scribe or simply invite in guides to help me. A lot is thrown around in this time of quiet, usually there is a a solution or rising to the surface. Then I need to praise the lesson. Thanking the lesson helps it dissipate and become less. Learning from times of “bog” is good. Even though when feeling “shitty” there is no way in hell you want to hear that!

Thank the lessons, learning through them, will help bring you out stronger, knowing who or what you are wanting, and allowing yourself to serve you better. Isn’t that some great news for you? I think it is!

So next time when the “bog” creeps back in and you feel like you are melting into the abyss, possibly you can stop it sucking you right down and breathe a little easier knowing how to work with it instead of against it. Thank the lessons. Maybe even thank whoever sent it. Thank yourself for being amazing and working through things, thank yourself daily, you are brilliant and worth it!

Love always, Pete x
