Morning mindset: Regression to resentment. The "practice" aspect of mindfulness is often noted to imply an ongoing controus daily aspiration. There is no "end" to the act, no level of awareness you arrive at and stop. Like a tightrope walk, every moment is a balancing act. Every shift, even those imperceptable ones. necessitate continous adaptation. Stability is perhaps maintained in fewer consecutive moments than those spent needing to realign. And that is where I seem to be.to day. Stopping, wobbling slightly with outstretched arms and shifting hips. Accepting "what is" requires releasing the illusion of control, and as I was learning about in more detail yesterday via a podcast or two, the science supports how complex the inner working at the subconscious mind can be. All this "default mode network" and learned response and "fight or flight" stuff appears to be highly active for me of late. As is my recognition of it, with a reasonable confidence that I will adjust my balance and continue forward, not by looking behind or ahead, but by being fully in this moment of intention.
