The past week or more has seen my mind speed up, paranoia start and rational thinking go out of the window. \u00a0 I have not fought with it as often that makes it worse. \u00a0It is easing now. \u00a0My sleep needs to get back on track, although this time of year I need a bit less anyway and it’s extremely hot too and it has been for the past month or two. \u00a0 This morning I can see clearly again and my thinking is more rational and slower. \u00a0I’ve even managed to meditate and read for a while. \u00a0I am once again writing down goals in my little book. \u00a0 Life is like a year and a year is like life. \u00a0 We go through spring, summer, Autumn and winter. \u00a0 Spring in life and the year sees life springing forwards and growth even though it starts slow. The planning for life and the year ahead gets underway. \u00a0Summer is the time of long balmy days and a relaxed attitude usually. \u00a0It’s a time when we feel there’s so much time left to do so many things. \u00a0We socialise, we feel alive and feel that nothing can stop us. \u00a0 Autumn is the time when things gently, at first, allow down. \u00a0The energy starts to subtly subside. \u00a0We start reflecting on the past months and life albeit with rose tinted g,asses and still planning for the year and life ahead. \u00a0We have amazing focus. \u00a0It’s the time to start to reap the harvest and the rewards of work Putin earlier in the year and life. \u00a0Winter is the time of contraction and connection. \u00a0We connect with the most important elements of ourselves as daylight reaches its shortest levels just as in life we feel that time moves faster. \u00a0Being older and wiser gives us opportunity to reflect more and also time to slow things down that can often seem to just happen to us. \u00a0We can taken step back and look deeper into things. \u00a0We can adjust things more finely. \u00a0The most important things in life tend to shine through. \u00a0The bullshit often stops, if we let it, and we filter things better as we are wiser. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s good to be able to mentally step back and look at things with different eyes. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
