A Perspective

Did I expect too much? Can I figure this out? Everyone else finds this easy. These are a few of the thoughts that occasionally visit my mind. I have come to understand why I get frustrated with organizational task, and it is because my brain does not organize information as a non-dyslexic brain does. Certain task, possibly more creative ones, never pose a problem, however, dealing with computer stuff is a completely counter-intuitive task.

Lately, my approach is to walk away from the scene when the "not getting it" pressure builds. Admitting to myself what I find challenging, and appreciating my response, is a necessary step in gaining and exhibiting compassion for others with dyslexia.

I have at my disposal different techniques for coping with my unique way of looking at the world, and one that I have practice over a long period is meditation. Meditation resets the brain and I come out of it feeling refreshed, my body feels rested and my mind is clear.

I will not give up.
