Dear Isra:

You wrote that you stepped back and evaluated your life, good thing, that you are making changes, cutting out old habits that don’t help, saying “no” to people and situations that harm you somehow. You realized that you need to appreciate who you are instead of being driven, exclusively, to change/ perfect yourself.

You wrote that you get frustrated easily by the little things that add up. Your spiritual journey, you wrote, is about your “connection with the Universe and with (your) spirit guides”. Sometimes you imagine your own spirit guides disapprove of you. Your spirit guides give you signs through animals and songs, one of which was that you should avail yourself to sunlight, and indeed, at an outdoor pool party, your mood was very good, and you are thinking about getting out into the sunlight more often, that sunlight will help reduce your anxiety and improve your life.

It is beautiful, isn’t it, how the sunlight can melt away the anxiety, all the stress, all the distress. How wonderful, I am thinking, if we could always live without that anxiety, calm and well. Maybe you can bring back that image of you relaxing “on a floating chair for a while and just enjoy the sunlight and a nice breeze” when you are anxious/ distressed and cannot avail yourself to sun light. Close your eyes and imagine that experience you had and it may help bring back that relaxation.
