What is your emotional arc right now?

It’s Monday, but I think I consider myself rather calm throughout the day. Yes.. yes that is unusual. Admittedly I am not always calm around the clock, there are moments where I am upset, and yes my old friend fear also pays a visit today. But today I can catch myself soon. Whenever I started to panic because my mind began to weave a sad story about how everything is going the wrong way in my life, I stopped it sooner

Hey mind, I really like my life now, please get back to the back seat and stop making stories. And funny, the mind dutifully obeys me. “I feel my husband is not trying hard enough….”; hey mind… I love this man. He is really sweet you know. To find a job is actually a depressing experience anyone can have in a lifetime, and this man must get through it. So please don’t add any burden to him by making me think he is not trying enough and so on. And the mind becomes quiet. Again.

I like this calmness. I like that I can have such authority with my own mind.
