[3]👋 Hello! [4]✍️ Guestbook [5]👊 Blog [6]🫶 Micro [7]🤌 Slash

Tomorrow might feel better
|
||
|
||
A screenshot showing a scene from Broadchurch. Hardy (David Tennant) is asking
|
||
Miller (Olivia Colman): "How d'you do it, Miller, the whole single parent
|
||
thing?" Miller's back is to us. Hardy's face looks strained. A scene from
|
||
Broadchurch showing Miller (Olivia Colman) answering Hardy's question. Her face
|
||
is toward us, lit by the sun. She looks resigned and self-deprecating as she
|
||
says, "By constantly absorbing feelings of failure, guilt and shame."
|
||
|
||
Sometimes you just don’t get to feel good about things.
|
||
|
||
Anyway a good rule I read somewhere long ago is something like Never trust how
|
||
you feel about your life after 9pm.
|
||
|
||
I’ve found it helpful to expand the rule a bit.
|
||
|
||
Never trust how you feel about your entire life….
|
||
|
||
• when you’re hungry or have eaten only crap lately.
|
||
|
||
• when you’re not getting enough sleep.
|
||
|
||
• when you’re in pain.
|
||
|
||
• when you just made a mistake.
|
||
|
||
• when something big is happening especially if it’s a bad or scary big
|
||
thing.
|
||
|
||
• when you’re in an argument or fresh out of one.
|
||
|
||
• when you haven’t seen the sun in 24+ hours.
|
||
|
||
• when you’ve just gotten bad news.
|
||
|
||
There are many more situations where this advice could be helpful.
|
||
|
||
When something is off, imbalanced, scary, upsetting in some part of your life,
|
||
the rest of your life will tilt toward that angle. Or at least will feel like
|
||
it does.
|
||
|
||
Remembering this helps me to not take my own feelings so seriously.
|
||
|
||
I hope today is a good day for how you feel about your life, but if it’s not,
|
||
tomorrow might be better.
|
||
|
||
For the record, I feel good about my life right now, this very minute. I wrote
|
||
part of this post a few days ago and another part of it a few years ago. I
|
||
survived both the years and the days. You will, too.
|
||
|
||
there is a light somewhere.
|
||
it may not be much light but
|
||
it beats the darkness.
|
||
be on the watch.
|
||
