Day 13

Yesterday was one of those days, where I had everything all planned out, and nothing happened as I set out for it to be. I could go on and on about all the mishaps, but that’s not where the content lies.

Bottom line, is that by 10 pm I was so overwhelmed I wanted to cry. On top of this, as I was driving home, I realized that my new parking situation wasn’t the best and that I was going to have to walk alone in the dark (the people cracked out on drugs show up at night in Venice) from wherever a parking spot could be found, which could be multiple blocks away from my place, as the spots fill fast. 

I worked on shifting myself out of all the negative thoughts, and was not having the best of luck. Unforuntaely, this only contributed to the nervousness, as I believe we attract what we set our minds to, good and bad. I thought about what I was grateful for during the day, but nothing was cutting the mustard from shifting me to the positive this evening!

Lastly, I decided to try a friend and God bless his heart, he answered!! I told him what was coming at me from all angles and how I was having trouble getting into a good mind state, which is normally very easy for me to do. I had told him about my situation from the day before with my focus on results so of course he brought that up. He mentioned that once again, I was too focused on the results instead of just being in a state of presence. I acknowledged that at the current moment everything was just fine, I was driving safely, my car was working smoothly, and I myself was safe.

By the time I got home, I had created a solution without even thinking about it, as I was still on the phone. I parked outside of my building with my hazards on, so I could run upstairs and grab my pup who could come with me, and then we’d walk back from the car.  As, I was talking to my friend, he encouraged me to let go of the past stories of the day, and the future stories of the next moments which I was so attached to. Genius! I noticed, all anxiety dissipating as I came into the present moment. Already, I had solved my safety issue by getting my dog, and within 200 feet as I was chatting, not one, but two parking spots opened up before my eyes. Rock star parking baby!!! Gotta love intention! So grateful for my friend for bringing into the present :)

LESSON OF THE DAY:  True intentions are best achieved within the present moment. Let go of the past and let go of the future, they are just stories.
