When In Doubt
Last Friday (Nov. 25th) I woke up in a really off mood. I literally was in doubt about everything going on my life. How strange. Where did that come from? I found it hard to get going in the morning.
I tried to get out of it using all my “techniques”, but to no avail. So, I decided to not do anything about my mood. No judgment. No techniques to make it better. I just decided to be with it in a somewhat detached way.
Rebekita had a post very similar to this one called Doubt and Hope. I liked her approach which was similar to mine. I ate well, took a walk, played guitar, surfed the net and absolutely let myself be. Gradually I felt better by the end of the day. And by the next morning, I was back to my normally very up self.
Sometimes when in doubt, it can be just as helpful to take no action and allow yourself to just “be.” Of course, you’ll need to be the judge of when that is appropriate for you.
Take care,
Michael
