You know I'm not right.... but am I okay?
I was kind of stopped in my tracks by that question this morning. I mean, my mind has been a'flutter lately, nerves frayed, routines wrecked, and I'm sorry, but I don't want to hear about 'getting help,' or counseling, or meds, or reading another damn book or article! I'm a grumpy old man and I just.... don't want to be!
But I was clearing through a month of unread emails and stumbled across this from James Clear:
A simple question to recalibrate the current situation:
Aside from my thoughts, am I okay?
Well, I probably am. I'm fairly healthy, have a wife who for some reason stays with me, a house, car, food, some type of income, and regardless of what anyone says, the cat likes me.
Sometimes I just need to remind myself of this. "I'm okay." I am okay. Right now in this moment... I'm okay.
