It’s All About The Weather

WELLNESS | by POSY GERING

WHAT KIND OF DAY IS IT GOING TO BE? Most of us turn to the weather report for a forecast. The truth is, it doesn’t matter if it’s sunny or rainy as much as it does what’s going on inside you. So instead, tune in to your internal weather. Scan your inner sky for signs of brightness. Describe your own high or low pressure systems. Your fog can lift by mid-morning or winds will blow the clouds away for a sunny afternoon. Even heavy precipitation can inform you. And, most importantly, remember that around here, if you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 minutes.

Using imagery like this gives you ways to notice, interact or change your perception. It’s an easy way to connect to what’s really going on internally. It lets you give others a snapshot of how you’re feeling without obligating them to fix anything or appearing to complain. Also, if times are tough, it can act as a reminder of that old adage: This too shall pass.
