Working It Out
By Communicating,
Connecting and Interacting
I have been experiencing too much stress in my life lately! So not good for my whole being. My emotional health is just as important as my physical health. I am really trying to practice at the end of the day to release and just let go of all that “stuff”!
Everything is connected and has a direct impact on my whole being! I have to address the issues I am experiencing. This includes dealing with my emotions, feelings and thoughts. This includes controlling my crazy mind and giving myself some much needed love. It means putting myself back in the power seat and making a major commitment to myself to be in control! To be the one that makes the choices, the decisions and the changes in living my life!
I can play the victim or be my own hero in living this crazy life! I need to tune into what gives me motivation and energy. I need to tap into my curiosity. I need to connect with my values and my beliefs as well as my faith and my spiritual self. Just do away with all that “stuff” that I end up using to create unnecessary problems for myself!
I have been closing myself off, resisting and holding myself back! I am exhausted and need to do away with the worry, the anger, the anxiety, and just the pressure I put on myself. I do not like that person. I do not want to be stuck in this holding pattern any longer!
I need to engage, communicate, interact, and connect, especially with myself again! I want to start new every day and be more in the present moment. I want to be able to focus on the task at hand and enjoy the process. Live for the moment and make lifetime memories!

It’s difficult for me to help others to deal with this. I suffered from these same defeating thoughts and such for years and years. When I had my stroke, those thoughts calmed down. I seldom have them now and my life is so much easier to deal with. I can now simply “let go” and it goes away.
There is no greater joy that I have known. It almost has made the stroke worth it.

I loved reading this. Too many people don’t realize you don’t have to play the victim, you can choose another path. Loved this

I’m sorry you have been going through some stress, but it’s great that you are trying to empower yourself to get over it. I’m in a similar boat, but I’m struggling right now to feel more up. Thanks for your much needed words!
