Where is My Mind?

There's no getting around it: I'm in a bit of a slump right now. I haven't quite hit my stride in my new position, my body is far from the form I'd like it to be in, and I've been feeling a little under the weather in the past few days to top it off. Seems like light years ago that I was feeling like the hand of God itself was guiding me through each day. Luckily, I've got enough faith to know that I have no less contact with Spirit right now than I do when I'm feeling on top of the world. Still, though, I have to get back to basics, and sharpish. It's no coincidence that when things don't feel right I'm not doing enough of what I enjoy. A number of posts back I wrote about how just spending a few minutes of quiet time each day can make a huge difference in how I feel. One would think that post meant that I was finally getting the point and wouldn't do myself the injustice of getting too caught up in the physical world, but no sir, I still go days without taking the proper time to center myself and focus on aligning my energy with the life I want to manifest. Frustrating as all hell that type of idiocy is, but my physical body has one hell of a gravitational pull towards all things not Spirit.

I have a tattoo of an Aztec Ourobourous, which in really simple terms is a symbol of the duality of nature (i.e., all things can be good and bad). It's not unlike the Yin and the Yang. This tattoo is very significant for me because no matter how close to Spirit I get, I'm never more than a few steps away from completely losing myself in the physical world and having to start over again spiritually. Suffice to say I'm painfully aware that if I don't stay centered, there will be enough ups and downs in my life to provide a course for the mother of all roller coasters.

So anyway, I'm far from being beset with negative energy, but I'm also very conscious that it's time to get back to the basics or I could end up running on empty. Reading, writing, playing guitar, focusing on health. All these things needs to become priorities again. Once they do, I'll be back to my old self and on track to manifest my dreams.
