Happy and excited to join the first ever Thoughtful Daily Post prompt, in our ThoughtfulDailyPost community. Thank you so much @wesphilbin, for providing us with these spaces, facilitated by this generous initiative. The proposal of contextualization before an uplifting or virtuous topic makes it easier for us to interact, socialize, and share our experiences, reflections, and feelings.

I especially enjoy these encounters that bring with them countless opportunities to unlearn, relearn, and learn as a group. It is satisfying and rewarding to strengthen and reinforce once again that I will never be absolutely alone. Despite the difficult and dark roads I may have to travel at some point, they will always be counterbalanced by light and flatness, thanks to loving hands and voices, tirelessly willing to give encouragement and support.

Let's go then to the Monthly Prompt

We all find our center in different ways. Tell us about a practice you have that helps you stay grounded. Bonus points for oddity!

As my years of existence go by, I get to know and recognize myself, and I nourish myself with practices that at a given moment can generate in me the necessary balance in a situation of instability. But on this occasion, I will tell you about an activity that came to me in the most accidental and unexpected way. It was really a serendipity, but it turned out to be a valuable find and I turn to it as often as I need it.

I understand that we are incomparable, exquisite, unique, and unrepeatable, and so are our responses to the events of daily life, those that make us fluctuate and oscillate, enveloping us in inconsistency, undermining and unbalancing our center. However, perhaps you can try my experience and see if it has the desired effect. That is what these meetings are all about, to share and support each other, to socialize our experiences.
