Fast

I have been in an emotional morass of yucky feelings frustration quickly moved to anger it took me a while to get to the bottom of what was going on jealously, illness, allergies, stress and exhaustion were a few of the things I factored in to my bad mood. Yard work and life stressors had taken their toll, some time out side on the swing watching the grass grow did not hurt either.

What I had to do was to just had to schedule some time for me some down time, to rest regroup, I went on my art date and got shopping therapy and two novels later I’m in a much better place now!

I needed to clear a spot to work and grabbed a pen and started writing five pages later I had my entry, no longer blocked the words began to flow. Now I had something to write in my spiritual journal. I’d felt like I was coasting things were good and it was easy to skip writing in that one. But when a challenge faced me I knew I was growing and needed to get the process down an important step in the process of growth for me.

I can count this success from fasting I’d been giving up morning newscasts for a fast, and on an involuntary computer fast the net was not working my wireless router and modem were too close together and not working for a few days. That will do it for me give me time to investigate what’s going on internally for me sort and process emotions swirling around inside my head and heart. I sorted things out on my morning prayer walks and the physical activity helped me to feel like I was actually getting some where as I ventured through this process.
