#Zen
Peace of Mind is Everything 🌞🌞🌞
Back in the day,
We used to play outside till dawn
Now, we're just another government pawn
Back in the day,
We used to live, laugh & grow
Now, we are forced to work our asses off bro
What is this shit? (mind my language)
Death is a trap to try and get us to submit?
As kids, we couldn't wait to be adults
Now, I reflect and I am like that was truly nuts!
The days when we could cry and be comforted
Childhood turned to adulthood and those days plummeted
Now, we're struggling to make ends meet, Who would have thought, childhood was only a treat
But it's life,
So put away that knife
It is what it is -
God is good, all is his
Better days are ahead
So, go and continue to chase that bread!

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them."― Dalai Lama
Studying Zen... the most powerful message I have learned/still learning? That when I don't do well in my practice of detachment from desires... it is actually my opportunity... to practice... refocusing on the present moment when I haven't been... and that is practice so valuable. Reframing how I thought about my practice made my practice something I can do at any point in my bipolar cycle without crashing into guilt.... it becomes what I need to practice when I need to practice it. There is no failure... Today, I'm practicing returning to myself after letting myself get distracted by attachments for too long... today is my opportunity to practice returning to myself... #Zen #Mindfulness #Bipolar
Sending Loving Kindness to all beings...we are all in this together. That's what a customer said to me randomly (it seemed at the time). Maybe my face didn't hide my worry or frustration at that moment, as I had trained myself to hide all my life.
Be strong, keep moving forward, don't let it beat you, my mantra became "what matters." The mantra came up a year ago while working a temp job. I used all the coping skills I could find. Guided meditations, bull-shitting with coworkers, looking up mantras and trying to keep them in mind. Trying to fit in time for yoga and walks and hoping to meditate to rest my mind and body after a stressful day at the office.

Today is a new day. Leave yesterday behind. The only challenge is staying in the moment. Be patient and aware of all your opportunities. #overthinking #patience #mindfullness
A few months ago I taught myself how to my bracelets on a loom with seed beads. These are about the size of seed, very small. This has become my new way to go into a zone of calmness. I first get out my colored pencils and graph paper and design one, then I bead it. I am having so much fun.
I love this journal! it is light hearted enough that I don't get triggered and funny enough to make you at ease! #warrior #Anxiety #Journaling
My bosses stress me out to the point of stress migraines that medicine couldn’t help, so had to just sleep to hide from the pain. I’ve always wanted a zen garden and now that I have it, I love how much peace it can bring.
