At the start of this year, I made the choice to consciously meditate everyday, practice yoga, drink water, stay organized and healthy, and I have been doing that consistently for this whole month.
I chose to do this mainly because at the end of last year, I was at my worst. I was extremely depressed, apathetic. I didn’t clean my apartment, I failed two classes. I was at rock bottom, really. And I chose to fight against that this year.
During my depressive episode, I was so afraid or didn’t have the energy to go outside, even for a walk. Until today. I went for a walk to celebrate my birthday, and the most wonderful thing happened!
I walked to a Starbucks near my apartment, even though I was feeling very anxious about the whole thing. And as I walked in, the barista complimented me so kindly, about my outfit and my nails. I felt so happy and grateful. He was the love and kindness that I needed to realize existed. Not even he knew how important that simple compliment was for me, and especially in my birthday. But he said it without a second thought, and I’m so thankful.
To sum up, I feel as thought I am really growing through my spiritual journey. By taking care of myself and meditating, I really feel that I’m getting closer to my source, which ultimately for me, is love. And as I work on myself, my efforts do not go unnoticed, but I am met with more and more love. I am so grateful to be connected.
