full

I feel too full. I’ve taken in too much information for too long and it’s all unsettled inside of me.

I feel my heart pounding throughout my body. Everything feels a little tingly and vaguely overwhelming.

It’s quiet now where I am, but it’s still too loud from all the residual sounds of the ways information is shared and communicated.

I can’t hear anything else today. I’m trying to find a way to let go of anything I don’t need. I’m trying to find myself amidst the chaos. I know I’m here somewhere.

We need information right? We need to be informed of what’s happening. And sometimes it’s hard to assess when we’ve taken in too much like a glass of water filled up and overflowing.

Thinking of water feels good. Being in water is a memory that brings me peace. Being held by water makes me feel happy and free. Being the glass of water that only holds what it can and lets the rest flow away feels good. I remember the sign that says so beautifully, “Be like the water.”

Yes. I will remember water. Drinking it, listening to it, submerging myself in it, watching it flow in and out, being in gratitude for it as it falls from the sky and grows everything so beautifully green and fresh. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for also transforming me all the time.

I found my way back to myself and what I value and who I am. I love remembering how possible it is to make the shift from chaos to centered inside myself. ♥️
