Loving your current choices as part of living in the ‘now’.
|
. Okay, okay. To you who read my sailing blog and expressed sympathy about my hardship I confess I did not suffer that badly. I had a great time, learned a lot and will do it all again. |
 Being in the NOW made a huge difference during this boat trip. |
Here is a sobering thought though. A few years ago the whole trip would have upset me and I would have needed sympathy.
But all my wisdom spouted in my previous blogs didn’t go to waste!
Living in the now helped me enormously, as having the distinctions coming from love and loving your choices.
I was on that boat and nowhere else and I had better make the most of it. And without making it a drama in my head, it didn’t become a drama in reality either.
So my ‘wisdom’ worked!
I wasn’t forced on that boat; I chose to do this. No blaming the boat, John or myself. I chose this adventure and my mindset was to love it as it happened and whatever happened.
This caused peace of mind and I could actually relax in my bunk, riding out my seasickness and accepting things rather than feeling something was wrong.
It allowed me to love the things that happened.
My climbing awkwardly in my bunk and falling all over the place because of the motion of the boat.
Finally feeling how well the boat responded, sailing faster as she heeled and letting go of the fear that she might topple over when she was heeling that far.
Enjoying the company of the fantastic other crew members.
I allowed myself to see the beauty in this classic boat.
I allowed myself to feel the beauty of the wide open ocean and to enjoy the support John gave me when I couldn’t do my cooking duties.
When you love the ‘now’ there is no place for fear, upset or bad feelings. It allows the good things to come forward, and yes I will still go sailing again.
Phew.
