As things open up again, (due to the effect on the population created by the vaccines which are now available), there are now many options that might improve our outlook on things.
This “Good Medicine” might actually do more good than one might suspect, and help us in more ways than the obvious.
I thought that I might mention this and encourage us all to help ourselves.
As we evolve competencies within our sphere of regular activities, these routines may give us a certain confidence and add positive feelings about ourselves and our secure place within the spread of our lives.
This mastery or excellence may then allow us to impart confidence in those around us that things will be OK, and thus perhaps create a more positive and less fearful psychological environment for us all.
Any calming and even moderately fulfilling activity may do this.
This may manifest in one’s career or work, hobby or fitness activities, creative endeavors, or even the development of small habits leading toward self improvement.
Anything that one may master can and will engender positive feelings of worth for yourself.
This may then spread through those around you and out into the universe.
It is not wasted time.
Examples abound.
The activities of my birding community, Ham radio devotees, excellent caregivers at all levels, musicians, cycling and fitness advocates, T’ai Chi Practitioners, and of course all those who follow the “Warrior’s Path” of personal excellence as a living art form, all seem to create a positive energy that makes our world more alive and magical, and infinitely more worthwhile.
Excellence in any field or endeavor may always be inspirational.
Happy campers, cooks, care doers, all who find joy in their activities, just by the exercise of these skills with joy, may add to the mix something special.
Sometimes the creation of an excellent, kind smile may do much more than you realize.
Blessings to All,
Daniel
