Day 30: Do the damn thing

Today is Day 30 of #mybuffetyear.  Do you like musical group Surfaces?  It’s growing on me.  I enjoy their positive vibes and don’t have to worry about explicit language when the kids are around.  Today I had a conversation with someone that wasn’t just surface-level.  It’s “nice” to connect with people on a deeper level and not just talk about current events and sports.  I think we all crave it whether we want to admit it or not.  Do you agree?

Tears for Fears has a song called Mad World.  It may be a mad world for a reason or two just go ahead and fill in the blank.  However, what you focus on expands.  I don’t know if this is a truth or a belief.  Reach out to me and tell me if I’m “right” or “wrong”.  We have many ways to connect as a society.  There is Zoom, FaceTime, social media, etc. and we are always carrying our cell phone.  Yet it seems like we are more disconnected than ever.  Perhaps it’s because the only thing technology can’t fix or solve is the human experience and the vulnerability that goes along with it.  

Time is extremely precious.  I want and I need to be more intentional with my time.  We all have messes to clean up.  Let’s clean up the messes and stop making messes along the way.  I am referring to relationship messes.  It all starts with writing a letter and then having a conversation.  You won’t be able to control the outcome, but at least you will be able to make some mental space. 

Lastly, I will leave you with this.  I hope this can help somebody even if it’s just one person.  I found myself in a state of frustration, loneliness, and disassociation or unconnectedness.  I can’t say I totally evolved or came out the other side, but here is what I can tell you.  I felt those things and I felt like nobody understood me; however, I wasn’t vulnerable enough and didn’t open up enough for anyone to understand me.  I think people want to be part of the ride and journey.  We all have our struggles, strengths, and shortcomings.  I dare you to take your mask off.  Do HypnoBreathwork® and get those suppressed emotions off your chest.  You got this!!
