Chris Writing Anything

Yesterday, hmmm, what did I do yesterday? Well, if I have to answer, which I actually don’t, but I will…anyways, I biked outdoors, cleaned house, and played drums. Mostly, I regained my sense of self, and I collected my thoughts.

Don’t get me wrong, I also tried other things, such as tackling brain games, solving crossword puzzles and learning the Spanish language. When I read this back, damn, I don’t know, am I trying to brag? I don’t think I am…I’m certainly proud of steadily progressing, yet, for me, that was what was going on in life.

Today, I’m maintaining my awareness, and I’m monitoring my thought process. That sounds weird, doesn’t it?

Actually, I have to, knowing where thoughts come from leads to better decision making. I’m not preaching, at least I’m not preaching to anyone but me, but simply accepting thoughts and greeting them with curiosity makes you much stronger mentally. To tell the truth, I wish I would have known about these fundamental discipline techniques earlier in life.

Sometimes, there are things we must accept, and understanding where these random thoughts come from…well, then, you can crush what’s standing in your way.

I’ll explain further. Growing up, starting at a rather young age, I’ve had music lessons. Yet, I didn’t want to play Brahm on the piano, I wanted to play fast paced music…yes, I wanted to play popular rock music. So, I wasn’t actually the best pupil. But, even if I wasn’t an avid musician, practicing for hours on end, I picked up on enough.

Being a drummer, and not caring for the marimba, I couldn’t tell you what key a piece of music is in, but, more than likely, I can guess the time signature. Yet, sometimes, I get confused, and I must refer to piece of sheet music. Anyways, considering music, I’ve had certain regrets, and now, because hindsight is 20/20, I’m coming to terms with that…and I’m quietly, oh so silently, finding a genuine sense of assuredness. That feels great.

Have an Excellent Day!
