Rest
I am writing this blog post as I lay in bed with an empty house. Today, everyone is doing their own thing, including myself. The crazy thing, is that I have been being prompted to rest for about a week now. I usually start off really well. I’ll light a candle, take a nice hot shower, eat a healthy but satisfying meal, maybe meditate a little bit, read a book, all that good stuff. All of these things sound peaceful, until I add that as I was lighting the candle, I was also thinking about the 5 errands that I have to run. As I took a shower, I was interrupted three times by my daughter asking me for juice. As I ate my healthy meal, I was scrolling through social media and creating posts to promote my services. As I meditated... well, I was actually pretty relaxed then, but as I read my friends new book, I noticed myself writing notes and making edits with my favorite blue pen. Outside of my 20 minute meditation, I did a whole lot of “resting” that was really just working in disguise. Some of those things, like the shower interruptions, I can’t control, but for the most part, I have got to make adjustments.

The Difficulty of Managing Emotions During Highly Emotional Times.
Emotions are running high this year. On a global scale, we’re all facing COVID-19. That alone has brought about so many changes that I’m sure we’re all going to have to permanently redefine what “normal” is for our families, our careers and our communities. On a National scale, the U.S. is experiencing a another racial justice movement which I’m sure will also change our perceptions of what is “normal” or in this case, “right”.

Truth Over Feelings
It appears that there’s a common misconception. The misconception being that everything true, must align with how we feel. If it doesn’t feel good, then its automatically a lie and cannot be accepted. I see it all the time. I too, have been guilty of this way of thinking. We get so wrapped up in our emotional truths, that we neglect the factual truth because as some of us know, it’s painful to really look at and handle accordingly.

Emotionalism in America.
Emotionalism is destroying America. It feels harsh but, it’s true... and this is coming from a recovering emotionalist. I say recovering, because getting to a level of maturity that enables one to lead with logic rather than emotion is a long, tedious journey of unlearning that I’m sure is going to take years, perhaps even a life time to reach. However, I am committed to living a life of radical truth and clarity. That means, living according to facts, not feelings.
