I never thought about these things as impermanence. I just always thought about it as being present and staying in the moment... Go figure!

The only thing I have yet to master is the "Perfectionism"; I think it's part of my OCD/CDO or it could just be that it's such an innate part of me that most times I don't realize I'm doing it (which is true).

I still have a tiny issue with loss when it comes to the death of my husband, but I think that's because it wasn't a natural death. Maybe it's also a jealousy thing too, because I was already gone in 2008 and I had to come back. So now he gets to enjoy the peace and serenity I know is there and can't have yet until I'm done with what I have to do like I was told.

I just know that I do my best to stay in the present moment despite these things. Even when I miss my husband, I just wish he was next to me and I just tell him I love him. Then just continue with whatever I'm doing at that moment. Living life one moment at a time

Raven, thank you for sharing a bit of yourself and engaging here. I am deeply sorry for the tragic loss of your husband.

Impermanence simply means that everything changes, all the time. It’s the law of this land/earth. Living one moment at a time is a beautiful way to be and it seems like you’re mastering it.

Perfectionism/OCD can be complex and take time to soften. I always say that awareness is the first intervention so it’s good that you’re aware that you’re mostly NOT aware of the perfectionistic behavior. This will bring you to more intentional awareness so that you can slowly free yourself of it. Sounds like you are walking your path fully - the good, the bad, and the ugly of this life. Sending blessings to you🙏✨🥰
