The biggest wall you have to climb is the one you build in your mind: Never let your mind talk you out of your dreams, trick you into giving up. Never let your mind become the greatest obstacle to success. To get your mind on the right track, the rest will follow.

— Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Many people remember exactly where they were when that ecstatic feeling of oneness washed over them, and feel a special intimacy with that place. We return to these places, physically or in our minds, for centering, as renewal for our values, and are reminded that, far from being alone in a sick and evil world, we are beloved by a divine and beautiful one.

You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.
