Joyful Minds, Open HeartsOvercoming Negativity Addiction

Today was an amazing day because I realized that the more these really big and exciting things happen with my movie, the more I crave a quiet contemplative life! I like the calm energy I feel when I stay in a peaceful place emotionally.

I am loving that peaceful feeling more and more. I would say that for me, “peace” equals natural bliss when not triggered or indulging my negativity addiction or fight or flight responses.

I would also say that peace is about being in the present moment fully, in my body, aware of the physical space I’m in. And peace also means loving everybody all the time, like the sun that shines on everybody whether they “deserve” it or not.

I would love to feel calm, peaceful, and inner serenity, even in the midst of directing a big feature film.  That’s the dream.

Oh, and this morning before I got out of bed, I imagined myself going through my day calm, peaceful, happy, and loving everybody. I went through the day in my mind with all the things I thought I might do and imagined doing them with peace and bliss, and sure enough, that’s what happened.

I am missing my ONA students, though! You all should start a weekly group so I can call in when I have a free Monday night!

Love and Happy Biochemicals,
