SELF-OBSERVATION
New month new start! Time to put some renewed vigour into all areas. I begin from a reasonably good base and many reasons to have the attitude of gratitude. The family are happy but we all need in our separate ways need to get busy! For me, as I sail the ocean of uncertainty, its especially important to keep my focus in the right place. This means:
1. A continual background attitude of gratitude
2. Total focus on my objective - self-suppoting therapist by 2020.
3. Appropriate response in the moment as matters arise.
4. Self-maintenance by meditation, excercise, and new learning.

I am on the face of it perfectly happy but a low mood has rumbled on in the background for the past week. From my training I know that mood is so multi-causational it can be impossible to tie down a cause and so be able to directly address it. In my less-educated past I would have sought hedonistic distractions, but these days my policy is "feel the mood and carry on anyway" - so long as my focus is on my clear intentions and on gratitude, and I am responding appropriately to each moment, I can afford to live with it without wasting time trying to get to the bottom of it. Right now I feel calm and content anyway.
