Even clean chakras have a dirty secret

Ifall asleep every night to something inspirational on YouTube. It might be anti-anxiety sleep hypnosis or gratitude meditation, it might be chakra cleansing or life-purpose finding. Basically anything inspirational and worthy that I don’t really have the patience to listen to when I need to stay awake. Apparently it all filters into your sub-conscious anyway, and whether my chakras are balanced is debatable but it gets me to sleep.

Psychosomatic perhaps but I feel a bit more purposeful than I might normally at this dank time of year and I have been achieving stuff like tidying things you can’t even see and doing tasks before the very last minute. The downside to being awash in feelings of fabliss achievement is the crankiness with obstacles. Admittedly it doesn’t take too much. It might be a piece of technology that doesn’t work, or OK, that I can’t make work — Netflix as a TV channel, I’m looking at you. It might be a stupid rule, take your pick, there are millions.

This week’s rant-over-coffee fave was that health insurance will cover a pregnancy a year for 25 years should you feel so inclined but not contraception or sterilisation. Stopping getting pregnant is elective but apparently getting pregnant is not.

Or it might be the actions of a person. You arrive at the cop shop with the 16-year-old, filled-in passport forms, the child’s old passport and her birth cert on which two parents are named. Two parents are present with ID proving they are the named parents of child in question and no, soz, the guard can’t stamp the form because you’re not known to him. Eh, dude, you know why you don’t know me?

Purposeful is all very well, perhaps it’s time to seek out some more calming bedtime listening.
