This morning, I woke up feeling spiritually flat, like I had no direction. That feeling’s been lingering for a while. It feels kind of like restlessness that I haven’t been able to snap out of. But today I made some headway without planning for it. I just got up and went through my usual morning routine. Someone shared something that resonated with me in my meeting. What I heard was, “How can I be bored when there’s such a beautiful and fascinating world around me?” I realized that life can make extraordinary things ordinary when struggles shift our perspective. I can still be amazed when I look at the world through grateful lens’.

As the day unfolded, instead of forcing myself into a half-inspired activity, I let connection lead. After my meetings, I talked to my psychiatrist, had a long heart-to-heart with my mom, and checked in with my sponsor. Connection was the antidote to my spiritual malady today. Faith, for me, is reaching outside myself, trusting in the people and the world around me. Those real conversations helped my day fill itself in. I ended the day with an hour of yoga and whipping up a delightful Balti dish (Fried cilantro and almond cod, dahl, and rice). I didn’t have to plan it all out (though, let’s be honest, I nailed that dinner). Life showed up for me because I showed up for it.
