One of my 5-a-day for emotional health* is to :: Seek out my feelings.



I write on the train
commuting
airports
stations
I churn
Getting my inner out.

For most of my passing years
these were on paper.
I still have these reflections.
Occasionally I spill bits here.

Since 2003 I have been reflecting here.
www.pip ……………….

I often don’t know what to write.
I want to write everyday
churn everyday
reflect every day.

If I have no bursting of the soul
one day, in reflective terms,
I start with the word FEELINGS.

Approach me with a sense wonder/ 
Yes it is me/ 
A different me today.

You and I are constantly changing.
(We never step into the same river twice)
I have loved that quote for years.

Our experiences
and the impact on us
especially our INNER beautiful human -
Our inner being
drives our outer becoming.

We are not a body with a soul.
We are a SOUL with a body.

We change always
whatever we do/be/become.
HOWEVER
We can decide on the person we want to become.

We can be renewed each day
by checking in - 
checking in on ourselves.

‘How are you feeling’
I ask Mrs Beautiful.
She always pauses.
Always digs the soul.
Out comes a feeling 
and why the feeling is there ……..

Often it is a person.
A positive feeling often.
Sometime a the forehead frowns 
with concern for another.

My reflective practice
is a healthy activity.
Just as working at 
Eating healthy
Exercising well - 
the inner soul needs STRETCH.

We all need to work at being in-touch
with ourselves.

Often the first skill 
in emotional intelligence
is an ability to get in touch
with our feelings.

FEELINGS::
We all have them 
we all are poked by them daily.
AND if they are treated
like a ghost in a cupboard
to be pushed back inside
and ignored
and a hope they will go away - 
they will continue to haunt us.

One of my 5-a-day for emotional health*
is to ::
Seek out my feelings.
Welcome them.
Undress them.
Read them.
Dig into their signals
and gain knowledge from them.

At the moment I am trying to understand
why I am waking around 5am in recent days
and churning around sleeplessly
- a mind full of unnecessary thoughts.

Join me in searching out the beautiful human
which is you.
Join me in becoming
all that we can become - 
one step at a time ……..

You are beautiful.
