The starting plan for my online exploration. It is sure to branch from this original, but…
here we go!
““No creature is fully itself till it is, like the dandelion, opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos.””
My name is Ryan and I’m in quite a rut.
Too often, I find myself in dysfunctional mental states of mind. Overly anxious. Depressed. Caught in rollercoasters of emotion. All this is natural and part of life for everyone at one stage or another. However, it is essential to cope with the downs in life in a healthy, honorable manner.
Unfortunately at present, I am coping poorly with life. I know the right behaviors and habits to utilize, but to date I am not consistent or disciplined enough. Furthermore, I compound my suffering by using substances to dull the stressful or amplify the exciting feelings I experience.
Enough is enough. The time has come to really dig in, cut back, and live a simple life. Mindful, consistent, healthy living will bring me back to who I am deep down and who I am meant to be.
I have a schedule that has been deeply thought out, with the essentials to a peaceful well lived life. I plan to doggedly apply it as my path to peace.
The other major step I am taking is this website and blog. Sharing it only with those near to me, so they may receive some peace as well. I plan to share my schedule on tomorrows blog, and from that date forth I will provide updates on how each day went.
In addition to daily status updates, I will delve into posts exploring the deeper reasons for my distress, breakthroughs in my redemptive journey, and thoughts on life at large.
Mindful, consistent, healthy living is the only way.
Through simplicity I will bloom like the dandelion.
Wishes of health, happiness, and peace to you, dear reader!
