Lifeline

In drawing up my lifeline, where you mark the major point of transitions in your life represented through the highs and lows, above or below a horizontal axis, what will loosely come out representing an erratic and hyperventilating heartline ( or at least mine did), I realized how I have viewed and defined my life in the major events that I have been through but in the process lost to count the countless moments that led to the eventual steps through the doors of successes and failures and shaped who I am. Except that, we are all on that journey and experiencing life in moments but most of us,  without being cognizant of our thoughts and emotions

Micro moment living is experiencing life at an ingredient level rather than in slices of delight or disgust. In this, while challenging to remember the gift of living, it is in recognition of what one is feeling, can you appreciate what makes up your world especially in times of dissonance, helping you understand the flailed, ruminating and anchoring negativity in order to strengthen your emotions through an understanding of them

This is important as most transitions in life are seldom quick and in them can contain large spaces of liminality; therefore the realisation of your ambiguity whilst being inside it will come from self-awareness and will allow you to shape your journey. While this may seem unnatural and a task in itself, things often do when trying to make sense of things, without this you risk to let yourself get lost and drift in randomness through the winds that life blows 

Taking control through metacognition of your mind ( and thus who you are in that moment) and space around helps you direct and steer through the lifeline and live with optimism and gratitude through both adversity and prosperity,  this, however, is a learning process and requires being able to embrace the troughs as much as the peaks, but eventually, you will be able to build on and come away from the psychological pressures of the world around, within us, and rather than be dragged by it (the mental baggage) you will learn to either carry it or let go  

My biggest learning from drawing my lifeline is that all the dots are always connected or connecting and since life is in that sense always in transition, it is important to each moment seeking to being self-aware and pursuing purpose because life will test you even more as you get closer to your evolving goal. Your lifeline, just like the hearts’ beat, has its own designed rhythm, but you can control how you feel within those movements and make each moment count
