So, I guess it kind of goes without saying that it's been a while since I've posted... About a month. And now, looking back on that month, an almost infathomable amount of things have transpired. Anybody reading this will understand what I'm speaking about.
Also, I've recently had an epiphany. It sort of ties in to my last post, the one about near death experiences. I figure that I'm young. I shouldn't be so worried and anxious and caught up in so many seemingly insignificant things, like how my body looks or the fact that there are people who don't like me. It pretty much goes against everything I used to be to be so calm all the time... I've been calling it "zen," and I'm really glad I've adopted this principle. Every fortunate thing that's happened to me recently had occured becasue I was honest and not so uptight.
"Zen," at least by my definition, is about honesty and not letting the little things get to you. It's been difficult to get used to, because I have chronic anxiety, but I sincerely believe it's worked wonders for me. The amount of panic attacks I have has steadily been declining, my life is exactly the way I want it, and I don't have any secrets anymore.
Another trick to my Zen principle is living in your moment. Not the moment, there are way too many people who pledge to do this, and it never happens. Living in your moment is all about stepping back and appreciating all the wonderful things you have in your life. It's about telling everyone the truth, telling someone how you feel towards them, and then reminding them every opportunity you get.
Never take anything, or anyone, for granted. They could disappear at any moment. And if they did, would they know everything you feel about them? Don't take that chance.
