The Sound of Sunshine
“On difficult days
when the storm is ragging within me
I sit
wait
and listen
for the sounds of sunshine”
Most mornings are like this for me.
I wake struggling to breathe.
Trying to catch a breath.
Needing to stop the world spinning and emotions swirling.
I used to fight those feelings. I used to have programs, systems, drugs in place to combat them and help me level out.
Now I have found that the most effective thing to do is anticipate the emotions, the blackness, the rage and sit. Quietly. And wait. And listen. Within about 45 mins of rising, calm rolls in, like waves.
This has become known to me as “..the sound of sunshine.”
I think you are incredibly brave and strong…to anticipate the emotions instead of using medications, or other types of treatment.I think more people would benefit from some type of meditation, whether on meds or not. I also love that you refer to it as ‘the sound of sunshine.’ I should give it a try..I wake-up with a huge burst of adrenaline a lot. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you. Your really kind
You can always write to me. I admire your grit and will to live. I will always listen to you and think it an honor to do so.
Thank you
