Getting Through <\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for joining me in another walk through the Door.\u00a0 Going through it can and has been exciting over the years… but there will always be those times when walking anywhere will be a matter of just plugging along.<\/p>\n

We may call this “boredom”.\u00a0 We may use choicer terms, such as “perseverance,” “dragging along,” or “the blahs”.\u00a0 Nonetheless, no matter what we do with our lives, there are times when we don’t feel the magick.\u00a0 Many of us with diagnoses tend to fixate on these times, to where it may seem as though all the time is this way.\u00a0 But we know that is not the case.<\/p>\n

We can’t have excitement 24\/7.\u00a0 We just can’t.\u00a0 We need down time, time to relax, time to recuperate.\u00a0 If we see this as a negative, it is easy to fixate on it, and to scream that it’s over.\u00a0 Many of us choose these times to contemplate suicide, especially if we have had a lot of these times lately.<\/p>\n

I give to you the Magick Words which will get you through these times.\u00a0 As nobody has the same preferences of language, I’ll say them several different ways, and you can choose one.<\/p>\n

It’s OK, I need some time off.<\/p>\n

I’m just resting.<\/p>\n

I can get through this. It’s easy.<\/p>\n

This, too, shall pass.<\/p>\n

It’s true.\u00a0 Just as no bad time lasts forever, and no good time lasts forever, no boring time lasts forever.\u00a0 It just feels like it while it’s happening.<\/p>\n

But what can you do to get through it?<\/p>\n

Ah, come on, you know the answer.\u00a0 You’ve done it lots of times.\u00a0 Read something.\u00a0 Take a nap.\u00a0 Put on some music.\u00a0 Call a friend.\u00a0 Get on the Internet.\u00a0 Go for a walk, or a drive.\u00a0 Anything to fill the time.<\/p>\n

You might also find this is a perfect time for meditating.\u00a0 OMMmmmmmmmmm can fill lots of time.\u00a0 My problem is, this is almost always the last thing I think of at these times \u2013 and probably the best thing I could do.<\/p>\n

Do you feel isolated from everything?\u00a0 Get in touch with everything!\u00a0 The only way to get in touch with everything all at once is meditation.\u00a0 Yeah, I’m preaching to myself again; isn’t that the best way to motivate myself?<\/p>\n

And if all else fails, you could always write me.\u00a0 Chances are, it will get to me right when I need someone to talk to.\u00a0 A quick email to zaivalananda@gmail.com will likely get you a quick email in return, and possibly a friend \u2013 for now, or for life, that’s up to you.<\/p>\n

What else can you do?\u00a0 What gets you through these periods?\u00a0 Actions, thoughts, meditations, anything.\u00a0 Tell me about it.<\/p>\n

And next month we can walk through this door.\u00a0 Together.<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n
