I’m feeling it right this moment.
I feel like giving up. I feel like ‘what’s the point?’. I feel lost. I feel like I have no direction. It’s a feeling of hopelessness.
I feel these things even though I’ve had two pretty good sessions of practicing and composition today so far. Maybe I feel it because I’ve had these good sessions.
I feel it in my chest. I feel it in my head.
I want to lie down and take a nap. I want to find the fetal position and spend a couple of hours there.
I feel all of those things, but I’m trying something different. I’m mindful of the feeling. I’ve noticed it. I’ve opened up my iPad and I’m typing these words. I’m processing the feeling. I’m acknowledging that it’s there.
It’s just a feeling. It’s just something that comes up. I don’t have to do anything. I don’t have to let it get to me. I don’t have to lose the rest of the day to it. I can notice it, and then I can let it pass through me.
