We live we die and there is a whole lot of stress in between. What's the point I ask myself? Sometimes when you let your mind wonder and question the universe and your part in it, it sends shivers down my spine, panic sets in and the overwhelming fight or flight feeling kicks in.
Best advice I have for anyone feeling that way is live in the moment where possible. We spend our lives planning for the future we may not have and looking back on trauma that we bring with us. But guess what we cant change the past!
We can learn from it but we need to park it. Future plans are great and necessary as long as we don't live for them. Living in the present has helped me deal with a lot over the years and brought me joy in the small things.
The car breaks down- LET IT GO
My boss is as ass- LET IT GO
My kids are driving me mad- LET IT GO
Take a breath and look around at what you have and more importantly who you have in your life. That is what makes you whole. There will be bumps in the road but the road continues. Love, laughter, honesty and companionship is fundamental to a happy and complete human being.
One day at a time centres you and allows you to breath. Be happy in the moment!
Tracy--good to hear from you. Terry here. I really like the blog entry called "Let it Go". We have soo much to be grateful for why dwell on the little annoyances. At the moment, my hubby is not well and then you realise that you need to look at the big picture and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
