Something that I have noticed is that even when life offers big waves, emotionally I'm more even keel. I don't follow the crazy doomsday voice in my head---actually doomsday has been replaced by more logic and optimism. For example when the computer shuts down in the middle of watching a Netflix, I think, wow, I should plug it in and then see if it shut down b/c I was out of battery instead of thining, how could I be such a silly head and loose all my poems and documents.
One of the best pieces of advice I received was to make the first 30 minutes of my day for spiritual practice. For me that looks like whirlpool, sauna and abhyanga (sometimes metta and just being still in somewhat of a meditation practice.) In cultivating quiet, I find there is more quiet space I am creating so that when life turns up the volume, I don't immediately get louder.
