SO GOOD QUOTES

The urgency and panic I was feeling from this little fast seems suddenly was so small and insignificant. When minutes ago, it was my entire world. And I had the revelation that all the chaos and anxiety and stress we feel as humans in our daily lives exists because we are so focused on things that don’t really matter. I’m not saying bills and all the shit we have to deal with daily isn’t real. But we blow it up. We drown it in, and lose ourselves. If we gain the ability to sit through things, no matter how uncomfortable, long enough to find our breath and core, they won’t have the power over us like we allow them to. We will be free. And that’s how I feel in this very moment. Completely free and clear. Did my hunger go away? Of course not. But it’s no longer the center of my world. I am. It’s peripheral.
