Waiting for the world to get better, is exhausting, draining and at times - hopeless.
I am coming up against my discomfort around patience every single day. Here are some of my attempts at keeping sanity while slowly yet surely losing my patience....: *Lighting up incense every day. Aroma therapy is a good distraction from the waiting period. *Looking at the calendar more often than I need to, hoping to avoid the haunting surprise of 'WTF, is it July already!?' *Unplugging from the news and social media as much as I humanely can. *Daily nature intakes. Even if it's only by looking at the moon from my window. *Repeating the mantra 'This Too Shall Pass' every time I remember it. *When pressure shows up like:'What're you doing with your life?' 'Ya should have finished three screenplays by now!', 'Do a self-tape every day, why not!?', 'Read more novels and plays instead of getting lost on youtube!', 'You know, other people are making this time VERY productive.' - I take a chill pill. *'Chill pills' come in various assortments: Hot baths, meditation, massage from my bf, a hit off a joint, turning on some music and dancing the pressure away, extra SLEEP, random baking and then stuffing my face with her holy highness, the divine goddess of SUGAR. *Writing. Crafting. Making. Storytelling, creativity and art are the most fun escape, and when I'm in the flow - time literally STOPS and it feels fucking awesome. *Daily routines. They kill time. And TIME right now....is a real jerk. What keep YOU going, during this agonizing time warp we're in?!
