Today was a long s**t day. Like the kind of day where everyone wanted to try to pull me into conflict. That kind of energy exhausts me. And for the longest time, as an empath I’d get pulled in and absorb that chaotic trash until it became a part of me. Assimilated into chaos. But that energy wasn’t me. Isn’t mine. And today? Nope. Not mine. So aside from being physically exhausted from fighting off energy vampires, I didn’t take it in. I didn’t allow myself to get sucked in. I remained calm in the chaos. Level among the lunacy. And I’m damned proud.
I’ve been working on myself, my shadows, my insecurities, my hang-ups (like thinking I’m in control). Ive been exercising, using breathing techniques, doing moving meditation, and trying to remain calm in the face of adversities and chaos. However, despite my desire for a full body workout, I was tired. So instead, I pulled on my coat and went for a walk in the very crisp, totally clear, 40° darkness. And as I stepped out and looked up to the sky to breath, across the infinite universe a shooting star zipped through the sparkling blackness of the night sky and I heard the universe loud and clear, “Job well done my dear. Take the breaths. Enjoy the walk. It’s all insignificant compared to all of this.,”as though the shooting star was the universe gesturing to its great wide wonderment. And I acknowledged it with a genuine laugh. “Alright Universe. I hear you. And here I am, out for a walk.” And then i pulled up my skyview app and took some pictures of the quite gorgesus views.
So thank you Universe for reminding me to slow down, stay calm, be mindful, and enjoy the ride.
