Sometimes, we fall into a rhythm. When everything sits just right, when you don’t need to worry about giving yourself and your headmates time, and everyone has their own thing... You get used to that.
But sometimes that rhythm stops working out, for whatever reason. A change of school, new hobbies, more obligations. Or, in this case, an internship. And if you’re not careful, it can affect you more than you think. You, and your Tulpas.
Over the last two weeks, we started an internship for University. Full 40 hour weeks, with 8.5h days and a short Friday. Coming from a “Student-Lifestyle” with plenty of time to meditate, relax, and do our own stuff ...That was tough. And last Saturday, I almost couldn’t feel Neira and Mesh any more.
Something like that really makes you realize how important they are for me, and ... Also that there might still be things we need to figure out. For now though, luckily, after some attention they are stronger than ever, also thanks to some close friends.
Take care of your Tulpas, and yourself just as much. It’s easy to forget how good just ... Sitting back and reading a book for half an hour can be, and how important. Make time for those things :)
