I’m laying right now in a moment… in a feeling of bliss.

Like I’m really proud of myself today

*stick tongue out with a peace sign*

My therapist gave me this technique of SAVORING

Which basically means to be in the moment of what you are doing.

If I’m cutting food, be in the moment of chopping the avocado. Be in the moment of boiling the water for my rice. Just be.

I’ve been doing it for four days now and it’s shown me how spacey I’ve been.

Not in the moment. Foggy brain. Doing everything robotic. The technique has shown me how rigid I am. How guarded I am.

“Because you’re irritated you come off irritated.” my cousin said to me

And it’s true.

I’m irritated as fuck with life. Trying to live in the fast lane when the Universe is repeatedly asking me to slow down and savor these moments.

*mentally smile*

I am reminding myself that I am doing all that I’m supposed to be doing.

For example, instead of punishing myself for still not having a job. I tell myself to look at my calendar and literally see the 3 interviews I have lined up. To look in my inbox after I have applied to 10-15 jobs. Look at the effort I’m putting in.

To congratulate myself for putting in the work. To sit in it and then move on to something else in my day that’ll bring me joy.

I’m going on vacation next week and I wanted my best friend and I to have matching T-shirts.

You know those shirts from the 2000s that are coming back with the artist’s face. The sparkling stars behind it and the artist’s name.

I made me and her one and it’s so damn dope. I love it! It’s corny but it’s a dope memory when we’re 50 years old talking about some “Remember the time…” lol

My grandma, aunt, and my mom were helping me in the creation of my best friend’s shirt. Making sure it flowed well and that the design was fire.

Being in my element of creating something allows me the pleasure of not worrying.

To just be.

To not be pint up in my anxiety and depression.

To enjoy this slice of happiness and joy.

To simmer in this feeling. To think of this moment when pure joy is no longer in the forefront of my mind. For when the day comes I can close my eyes and remember this feeling again and enter into a time that once was.

So make a feel good list… do the things on this list when ur day is full of poop and you need a pick-me-up.

My Feel Good List:

– Color in my coloring book

– Watch a stand up

-Watch RuPaul DragRace

-Go on a walk

-Journal

Let’s talk again soon
