I came across a line in Insight Timer about going through life as if everything that's not new is actually new. It's a message I need to hear. Yesterday I left for work at 7, did a day of tasks and meetings, did a social obligation of a get together that ended up being just me and Myles, then went to 3 hours of 7th grade parochial volleyball.
"You've Never Felt This Before" meditation by Amy Johnson PhD.
it's fresh and real... consider the possibility that nothing repeats.... what you think you you've felt
everything you feel is brand new and fresh as it's coming up... and as much as the mind wants to pattern match and say this always happen to me - what the generalizing mind wants to feel.... nothing that's here now has ever been here before will never be here again.
[Fighting boredom. Knowing what you truly like. Having to act out roles that you don't really enjoy doing -- parties, speeches, etc. I'm stitching together some thoughts recently about "showing up" and "putting on a mask"]
