Give Yourself a Break

There are times when life seems like one struggle after another. Sometimes things happen that hurt. When I find myself feeling bewildered and sad I often like to take a day off and sit in a coffee shop and read or write in my journal and people watch. It helps to stop for a while and ask yourself, "what's going on, what is trying to happen here"? What is it that life is trying to teach me? What can I do to make things better and what is out of my control? Are there patterns that need to be changed?

They say that "crisis proceeds transformation", but I've found that if I don't transform, crisis just proceeds  another crisis.  Sometimes if things don't get worse, we don't grow and that can be very boring, painful even. So, perhaps its true what they also say, that "its all good".

What's "trying to happen" with you?
