Personal definition of "normal"

(1/2) > >>

lighter:
I'm moving and shaking this morning, happy and in the zone, multi tasking priorities across the board.

I'm not worried about getting things done.  I know I will.  I always do.  I will.

I wanted to see what the Amazons feel make a person functional, responsive and "healthy" at this point in the journey

As I move through my morning I'd like to put some thoughts down, so I'm creating space, and reminder, to do so.

Hopalong:
For me, it's #1 calm (unafraid) and also #1 kind (to self and others).

All that comes before functional and efficient, which is a WIP forever, I'm sure.
If I can find meaning and growth, productivity is a gift but, for me, secondary.

I should have jotted down my thoughts!  I can't remember what I was thinking about as I zipped along in my zone this morning.

I agree with calm and kind to self, Hops.

Expanded vision, ability to notice other people's struggles while stepping around it..avoiding entanglement/reactivity, is likely where this started for me.

How amazing it is to avoid other people's roller coaster rides, which is about shaking codependence, ime.

Meh:
From recent exposures to lots of ideas I've noticed that even if I refuse to acknowledge an idea I'm still impacted by it. Be it positive or negative whatever it may be if there is enough of it then I am surrounded by it like moisture droplets in the air working to make hair frizz.

I think of the term creeping normality. Group-think. Mass selective amnesia or what looks like Narcissistic denial on a large scale.

I'm still struggling with the concept of normal right now. It's okay.

Depression and general anxiety are my normal and I tell people it's just my personality. Or maybe I should call it fatigue and stress. I just accept that because it's better than worrying about it. More recently though in the past few months I've been angry and that isn't normal for me.

Maybe anger is what comes before feeling other, better things?

Anger helped me move through crisis.  It gave me the energy to get myself OUT of terrible situations. 

There's perfectly reasonable, appropriate anger.

When you accept, and stop struggling, what else comes up for you, besides less worrying about it?
