We've learned...
Dude something got in the way, you gotta let go (if needed)
You are already recovering keep at it (if needed)
Don't quit your job!
And enjoy!
(and keep your happy switch on)
After letting go (if needed), after recovering (if needed), doing your job and enjoying: you should be at a stable plateau. This post is to tell you to stay stable. And if some issue comes up, to compartmentalize it and deal with it without letting it challenge your stability. Let's not "bother sacred mental spaces" as I put it before. Let's treat these issues as puzzle apps on your phone, but not the whole OS. Let's treat these issues as tracks that are playing on your headphones, but not affecting the music player itself.
Challenges will arise! You may get in a small accident and require surgery, you may get snubbed from a promotion at work, or you may lose a friend because of a misunderstanding. In either scenario you will have to address the essentials of your stability (you may define them differently). You will have to address work, and staying social. And regular exercise if possible. You will have to meet such challenges with zeal, all while staying stable.
We are talking about keeping that mental fortitude. Even if you have to wake up each morning going "I got this, work, fun, other stuff". That other stuff will be dealt with without affecting you. The other stuff, which may ask too much, will tire. Unless you willingly back away, the other stuff will cave and you will persevere.
You, on the plateau of stability, is like you, on a pillar of exceptionalism. Sometimes if you just get through life with stability, that itself is commendable. The pillars of exceptionalism (previously discussed) may take a backseat entirely if needed (but let's hope not for too long 😃)
Take it easy now!
