I’m in the midst of an avalanche of work and last night went to yoga where the topic was peace and how to find peace in your mind especially when you feel like you can’t let go of work, or can’t quit obsessing about your relationship, or you are just stuck thinking about something that is giving you no peace.
The hour and a half that we worked our way into poses and twists cleared my mind a great deal. I came home willing to face the fact that peace is hard to come by with work like mine so I need to be present for the work day but then force myself to be present for the rest of my life. Because it’s the rest of my life that matters.
Meanwhile, someone was recounting a conversation with girlfriends where one said, “He goes to sleep at 10 every night and works too much.” AGHHHHHH. That is me! So here I was worried about work and trying to find peace, but wasn’t thinking about worrying about my relationship but turns out I too am boring – go to sleep at 10 and work all the time.
It is clear to me that all of these were messages from the cosmos – balance, the cosmos tell me – balance. And peace well that is not something that just happens, you have to make peace happen.
Sigh. Even peace is not giving me peace right now.
