As I took this photo, following a meditation walk and a gentle stretch before I set off on the return leg, I heard someone yelling at me out of a car speeding past ‘stop taking photos and start running!’ There was aggression in the voice. Normally I would’ve been incredibly bothered by this behaviour, but today, as I was trying my best to combat the overwhelm in my life, I chose not to let it in. I did let myself think about it a bit more than I would’ve liked, I ended up thinking about the person who shouted and feeling a bit sorry for them – what is going on into heir life to feel the need to holler out at a stranger? I am none of your business!!!
And then on further reflection, at the end of the return walk in peace, I came to the conclusion that the meditation helped. I had been learning about ‘noting’. And I feel that I noted this annoyance and swiftly got back to myself. Yay! Progress!
Just trying my best.
