Arianna Huffington wrote yesterday that, "The goal of any true resistance is to affect outcomes, not just to vent. And the only way to affect outcomes and thrive in our lives, is to find the eye in the hurricane, and act from that place of inner strength."
I got to a point yesterday when I was overwhelmed with a feeling of insufficiency in the face of our national challenges. It was a feeling I had a lot in the weeks immediately following the election. It hurts when it feels as though your best just isn't good enough. What I have learned from the last couple months is that the remedy for me is meditation. If I can center myself, then I can let go of my ego, let go of all the swirling in my head, and simply ground myself in love. That is the eye of my storm. Even a couple minutes can work wonders.
