Day 83 / 108 Challenge

#83

"I bow to feel my soul being purified when I hear the sound of a clean, clear stream."

My first night at the new home. I must say that it was amazing. I think the majority had to do with the idea of having a permanent place. Where I can come back to, and rest.

The main goal of the day was to unpack and clean up the kitchen area. Like I promised myself yesterday, I focused on putting away all the open boxes and not open up any new ones. Which turned out to be very effective. Setting up achievable goals and completing them feels much better than trying to complete EVERYTHING at once, which only sets us up for a failure and a crippling anxiety. Just being present and not worry about the past nor the future is the key to happiness.

Once I was done with the kitchen area, I built couple drawers to temporarily store few of my clothes. It took awhile, but the result was much worth it. The sense of accomplishment plus the functionality of a working drawer presented a decent reward.

Despite my foot injury, I decided to go for a walk outside to enjoy the sun and to get familiar with the new neighbourhood. I found myself being fully present at that moment. I enjoyed the sun shining on my face, listening to laughters from families on a stroll, birds chirping, and dogs running around happily at the park.
