The three has always been my favorite number and today is the third day of challenge!
Hooray
! It’s been raining all day, I like the rain though. The grey and overcast sky makes me feel good, mystical. It’s been a while since I’ve worked at the bar in the morning. I hate getting up early, but sometimes it’s worth it. I’ve had a busy morning, but I’ve enjoyed talking to customers and managing the place. I’ve been there a while, and I’ve recently cut back on my work hours. I really wanted to chat quietly with some customers, gossip and stuff. The fact that it was a painful climate made people come to the bar more and the truth is that I have been lucky with tips which makes the day happy to anyone. However for love affairs I have been in bitch mode, although not too acidic, well.
I would like to share and introduce with you a fun game that I maintain with an old one:
The mental climate.
It’s about describing how we feel by describing a type of climate. For example, my weather today would be a cloudy day with light rain, which raises fog and then certain gusts of wind move from here to there. It has not been a dense or very passionate day.
But nevertheless it has been a day of decisions and discoveries in the loving terrain, so let’s say that I’m a little out of the game, but playing. In short, I have felt more conscious in the day and more in control. Even though some co-workers were a little rough for personal reasons… I didn’t lose my nerves and I didn’t bite at their subtle and puerile provocations. I am proud of my performance.
After work I went out to take my conscious walk in a more or less intense rain. Yes, I got a little wet, but nothing happens because watching the world while it rains is worth it, in fact, I even like to get wet, it’s refreshing, refreshing. With the day so gray the colors of the plants were incredible, green! …oh! green was today a very present color very strong, as the day went by I realized why green was going to be important today.
I crossed North Bridge to Calton Hill. It was raining and down the stairs up the hill the water came down like a stream. I climbed up I looked at the sea and remembered when I had been sailing in it, how big it is, how much it moves. I smelled the sea, the air and its humidity. I climbed the Greek monument on the hill and took some photos for the day, although before I approached the observatory enclosure. My goodness! There are special places and I don’t know why, but the energetic change I felt when I walked through the door was incredible, my humour has become serene, curious, but sure. I have to investigate the history of the place… I went back to my house under trees quietly, it was a great conscious walk! I loved walking in the rain.
I just finished the meditation recently and I have to say that it went well. I noticed my being more clearly. I just coughed when I thought I wasn’t coughing, ironic how my body works. I tried to visualize an exercise that I learned on Gaia.com to imagine a glow that settles in your belly when you inhale and then, when you exhale, goes up to about 50 cm above your head. The truth works well. The events of the day intersected in the form of thoughts, but I haven’t scratched myself, I’ve let it go. I felt my energy quite clearly and the tensions in my body. My right leg is always asleep! But I think today I have discovered why. I do not focus on the knees, which should act as an anchor in the posture too, as extensions of the root chakra. At the end of the meditation I began to notice waves of energy rising from the ground to my chest, if I had been more relaxed surely the experience would have been stronger… I end up noticing as a small internal fire under my navel.
Today’s reflections: Life is made of decisions, and it is important to know how to make them and to let go in our head and heart people who do not serve us, and who delay our evolution. My learning and development is the most important thing for me, and whoever wants to learn with me, great. The walks are great especially if there are not many people on the street. I’ve loved taking the air and feeling the world, alone, feeling that I’m living this day and somehow engraving it a little bit in my memories.
