Sometimes when I stay up late doing something creative I end up getting this very comforting feeling about the future. A sort of certainty that everything will work out in the end and that luck happy coincidences will always be on my side. If I had this sort of confidence throughout the day, I would live a much more pleasant and relaxed life. Since it makes me forget about all the hurdles I am grappling with in life, it makes excited about the future once again (like I was in my early teens before all the new responsibilities started weighing on me), and makes me want to go out there and live life to the fullest.
Does anyone else experience this feeling as well? It’s always gone by the morning but if I could internalize it it could be life changing. Do you have any idea how?
Yeah I feel this. I was able to garner it, with some success, by continuing the ideas I had and feelings I felt while walking during the day. You’re letting yourself free of those intrusive thoughts about hurdles and struggles, and that’s lessening your fear response. So don’t let those thoughts win during the day! Stay mindful of what you are doing in the present.
