“ease of manner”

The majority of the time my manner is mostly tense and anxious. It’s something I’ve carried over from my youth. Only in the last year or so did I realize that I’m in a constant state of hyper-vigilance.

My hyper-vigilance comes from growing up in a volatile environment and has translated into an intense fear of ’getting into trouble’, being wrong, and/or being a disappointment. With my new awareness I’ve been steadily working through these fears along with reminding myself to “calm the F### down”!

I would prefer to be relaxed. When I am, I’m less clumsy, I make fewer mistakes, and I’m more clear-headed and grounded.

Being in a relaxed environment would mean that I’m free from outside and inside pressures, I can move at my own pace, and can fully breathe. That’s what I want to create for myself…a relaxed state of being.

How about you? Is relaxed a core value for you?

btw…here’s what it looked like before:

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
