It’s a Saturday on a holiday, the weather is pleasant, but I’m feeling really down. It’s honestly something trivial (about my trip), yet it’s the kind of sadness that lingers for a while. I’m watching myself from a bit of a distance, wondering how I can cheer myself up.
But based on my past experiences, all I can do is keep struggling forward with the things I want to do. Every year it gets physically harder as I get older, but that’s the only way to regain my energy, and I just have to turn that effort into confidence.
Right now I’m blaming myself, telling myself “It’s your fault.” And I know from experience that this is not good. I won’t get myself back unless I can make myself think, “Hey, you’re doing your best.”
I talked to my follower/friend about how I was feeling, and the realistic perspective and advice were so eye‑opening that it felt like I suddenly woke up. I’m just full of gratitude.
I wonder if I could ever give someone such precise advice… no way!
But maybe I can learn little by little. I’ll do my best.
