Last month was rough, no story required.
It was rough enough to make me shut off a lot of the things I consider most important, and left me taking care of little more than what I would call my foundation (family, work, etc).
We all have those chunks of time. They are inevitable and a part of life. Fortunately they can be a very valuable part if you can change your perspective and be willing to reflect, and see where you can grow/improve for next time.
Reflections from that shitty month? If I drop either routine of writing my thoughts, or meditation I fall off the radar. Almost entirely. I'll get self centred, easily distracted, and annoyingly (to me at least) co dependant.
As "negative" as those reflections might seem, I am incredibly grateful to have done enough work to be able to identify them fairly quickly, have the skill set/willingness to actually work on them, and the rock solid network of men/women I know that are nothing more then a quick message away when I just need a sounding board or a swift kick in the ass.
I'm also grateful to be reminded of what that feeling is like when you're really "in it". When it feels more like you're coasting/surviving instead of thriving and not sure how to turn it around.
I took the above picture after being turned around by dispatch to go to a minor MVI when I was SO close to being done a shift. Heading in the opposite direction toward home the sky was dark, roads seemed slick, and I was spent. Two minutes after turning around that's what met me around the corner. All it took was a change in perspective.
