Rhythms and Ruptures
The other day I was forgiving myself for losing my rhythm with regard to creativity and also healthier habits. On the one hand I think it's true that I'm a cyclic being, but on the other there is a tendency to get lost in negativity, and I think that's been afoot recently too.
I try to be gentle with myself about this since I'm still living in a scenario where Outside Influences, that I cannot do anything more to control for the moment, impact me. It is enough that I keep trying to reclaim and heal as I wait for life to move me on. I acknowledge that I am not in a place right now to deal well with other people's judgemental comments about where I am right now. I realised it was a judgemental comment that floored me recently - and I've been mulling it over and trying to let it go ever since. I find that it's so easy for my inner critic to latch onto someone else's stuff and internalise it right now, believe that just because they said it well then it must be true...
I think I need to work on cutting that particular thought cycle out so I can get my rhythm back.

I absolutely positively can relate to this. It’s one thing dealing with our own gremlins. It’s another thing altogether when others gremlins try to invade us. Best of luck in your battle against the creepies. Smack them out!
