[QUOTE="Lil, post: 726977, member: 17309"] You know...I don't know that I ever feel "peaceful and grounded". I feel content with my life at times. I feel less stressed out at times. I even feel happy at times. That's about it. I suppose I [I]might[/I] feel peaceful and grounded if I were sitting on a quiet beach watching the waves. I remember that feeling. Or in front of a warm, comfy fire, watching the rain/snow falling outside, with no need to move and go out in it. Perhaps walking in the woods...that's as close as I actually have to an opportunity to really feel it...except then I'm usually mushrooming and if I don't find any I get annoyed and frustrated, or I get lost because my sense of direction sucks, so there's that. I think I'm always doing things with a purpose...and to feel "peaceful" I need to NOT have something to do. I'd need to have the thing I'm doing be ALL that I need to do! No thinking about laundry, or work, or food or what needs to be done once you stop doing what you're doing...to be able to JUST do the thing I'm doing. Does that make sense? Maybe traveling...assuming there's no serious snafus - but I'm pretty good at rolling with the flow. When you travel, the travel is the point. There's nothing else you should be doing...the entire focus is on seeing new things and seeing new things is [I]all[/I] your are doing. That's nice. Snuggling with Jabber - before sleep...not when you're about to get up and do a thousand things...that would probably come closest. I can think of a lot of things that [I]would[/I] make me feel peaceful and grounded...I just don't get to [I]do[/I] them. [/QUOTE]
