I really enjoyed your thoughts on the prompt! I think your considerations on what being centered means have a strong center themselves— the kindness of self-love, being true to who we are, and offering ourselves the freedom to let it out. I think singing is extremely stress relieving.
Yes, accomplishing things makes us feel much better as you said... I think that is universal... However, sometimes the most calming things are not structed. You've given me a fair deal of things to consider on the meaning of being centered here.
Thank you for a great read, and for your generous delegation to the community! 💚

I'm happy to be a part!
I think you meant structured, right? Structure, whether it has been imposed by me or by something outside of me, brings in @consciouscat's second type of unbalancing effect - looking ahead, not being in the moment. Timewise structure, for instance. I like to schedule as little as possible because it stresses me out to have to be on time. It's not that I don't like being on time, it's that I don't like hurrying. Hurrying is unbalancing. For me, not for everyone, my grounding has to be something I can do at a moment's notice, preferably on loop.
I find hurrying ungrounding and stressful too! Thanks for the mention =)
Goodness, how did auto-correct do me so dirty! 🤣 Yes structured- or perhaps we can make a new word out of whatever heinous typo that was? hahaha
I deeply relate to this. Personally, I'm a "Have to get ready at 10am for the event at 1pm" kinda person. For this reason, I tend to wait until the last moment to agree to anything that I am not 100% into. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to accept that it is totally okay to say no.
I have a ton of work to do when it comes to honoring myself in this department... Reading the thoughts of people like yourself helps solidify and strengthen my resolve in not creating mental traps for myself. 💚
