Sometimes things don't go our way. Sometimes as good as a day can seem, clouds can always chase us down. When these unexpected times come upon us, we are drawn into a whirlwind of negative thoughts, as if the sun was never there to begin with. It is easy to stay sucked into this gust of feelings, letting the situation stay out of our hands. But there is a way to get back to the ground. Get grounded.
Getting grounded can come in a variety of ways, from a loved ones voice to starting a painting to breathing. Recognizing your distraught and getting centered is a breath of fresh air for your thoughts. Yet this may be the hardest part. Writing has been my biggest tool to seeing this, letting my mental noise leak out through a pen or keyboard leaves room for peace and quiet. Having the ability to fight the whirlwind for enough time to realize your connection to the struggle is your own creation can be daunting. That moment of clarity is the hardest part, once your first foot hits the ground, you know you are stable. You clear out the clouds, settle back into the sunlight and sink farther into your soul.
Seeing the whirlwind blaze forth without you can be a very peaceful and humbling moment, I know it is for me. The power to not seek complete power is instilled, you are now grounded.
