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.
