i have found this to be extremely difficult bc i think my brain has been switched on for so long and i haven’t had a chance to look at things in my life that has happened or is happening, its about trying to reflect on things and trying to sort things out, i think it is extremely hard to do but when i am in the service and listening or praying about something i find myself reflecting on myself as well as thinking about what is said, its helping i think to get my life in better order than it has been, i still need the meds though and i will probably always need them.

I’m trying really hard to not mess everything up in my life, I feel some actions we take have dire consequences if they are judged to be immoral, dangerous, or sinful. I am starting to believe in a higher power again, some tough moments that happened to me last year helped put me back on the path to recovery. I will never understand why in 2009 I was put in the hospital, which led to a drastic weight gain, but I guess the sentence has been carried out and I must stay on meds too. Lesson learned. Good luck daydreamer.

I have gotten into the habit of going over my distant past, round and round it goes sometimes, never finding the meaning I am looking for. People call this “living in the past” I think. I am afraid of bad karma which is going to cause me to continue to act in a way that is deleterious to me. I would like to find an opportunity in my past actions that would lead me out of the bad karma and provide me with an opportunity to act in a way that would be helpful and rewarding for the future.

its more of a case of getting my thoughts straightened out or straightening out my thoughts, its the time of quiet reflection which helps me to do this, its not about living in the past and definitely not things going around and round my head, more a case of bringing clarity to my life and making more sense of things, i was going to use the word enlightened at the risk of being heckled but i believe this in a way,

this is an awesome song about reflection imo
Time to reflect on my life, a luxury I used to have until I got bombed with all these legal time sucking leeches stuck on me.
Would like it again, once I free up my time for me.
I can’t reflect. Symptom or side effect.
i think its one of the first things to go is the ability to reflect on ones self and situation, its all about bringing myself back into the now fully and understanding myself a lot better maybe even deeper,
its been like that for me too, for a long, long time
I think we are just quibbling over words. The process is the same.
I have so much house work that I am not keeping up with and am behind with I dont have that much time to just reflect but I did like reflecting on life when I could.
What do you hope to gain by reflecting back on you life.
It can be a psychologically painful experience.

its more to do with getting things straight in my mind, putting order to the chaos, like getting all the colours of a rubix cube in order sort of thing for clarity
I see, more sorting though your mind.
Like a jigsaw puzzle.
I hope it works out for you.
