Dave RUMI
my fav too. one of my fav quote from RUMI: “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.”
What's yours?
Agree with your the point 2 about the section 'How the chapter changed me' We care abo others' feelings too much so that ignore our feelings in heart 😄
xuemei Same here, it is too hard to focus on myself most of times, but i'm gonna try my best this year.

** Places we go when things are uncertain or too much**
my thought I decide to do nothing when i process overwehlem in future. The restaurant case taught me that we only need some time to get-released from the capture of overwhelm , though I know it is not a not way to handle the specific thing which let us overwehlmed. At least, by do-nothing for a while we could relax our mind to cope with it later. As a student majored in Pharmacy, I have too much medical classes, when it turns to exam month i have to be absorbed in my textbooks,chemical structures etc. In my first years of college, i was stressed by tons of exams. At that time i can feel those stressors are depleting my power which is too horrible for a med-student 🤣 (beacuse i have exams acquire full energy). Those days i found a way to coping with them: go out of the library and do-nothing or just do entarining things like take a bike walk, this is really helpfull to get back .
