The staple diet for sanity

staple diet for sanity

Chaos: the word that describes my last 3-months. Almost everything that could change, has changed. I love change, and variety but boy oh boy have I learn’t a few things about that lately.

  • Space: time to digest change is essential. Even if it is all splendid change and variety it is best for the soul to marinate on it.
  • Routine: my morning routine of meditation and writing went out the window about 6-weeks ago. I yearned to have it back so I started it again yesterday. Routine amongst the chaos keeps me resilient. No meditation, and no routine resulted in my resilience steadily decreasing over the weeks to the point where I didn’t even want to go have a drink with a friend: “No more, I can’t handle anymore planning, or doing!”

Arh so now I sit and get back into my staple diet for sanity, reflecting on that crucial moment when it was lost. This is my next mission: to prevent it happening again.

  1. Capisco bene. I understand well. It is so damn easy to fall off the wagon with the routine. As I write this I remember that I did not meditate this morning. I must sit even if for only a few minutes.

    • Exactly Seamus, even if only for a few minutes it all adds up. Many small bricks make a building after all.
