If there was ever a moment, to stop for a moment ruminating over your life, your day, and your own problems, the time would be now to think about others, and think about what you can do at this time to be mindful, and considerate of all the losses at this moment. It’s an easy thing to do sometimes care, but never should we need for life to turn out so terribly, that we stop in our tracks, sometimes when we are forced to care about others other than ourselves, we grow, we mature, we think beyond the limits of petty matters, and let things go. Now is a good time to be thankful for what you do have, who is in your life, and be grateful if not one of them, still having your life in tact.

They have said in times of disaster to come together and support one another. I just had therapy and we talked about whether or not I should blog, based on what Ive been going through lately, stuck in argument over voices, and getting hurt over and over again. Right now I think if Im willing to let those fights go, and just be present in the moment, it would be more helpful for me to blog, and hope that if I can move on and let go of how I feel or whatever I heard, that so can others move on, and let go and not be bothered by my symptoms, or whatever I go through in life personally.

So let’s start thinking of positive statements to make in this moment. According to verywellmind.com, ““Your mind often can go on autopilot around thoughts that may not be so helpful for your overall well being,” says Donna Novak, PsyD, clinical therapist in Simi Valley, CA. “Having your favorite inspirational quotes around can support in breaking these conditioned automatic thoughts from continuing to spiral and can allow for some fresh perspective.”[1]

That’s exactly how I feel when Im symptomatic, or overanalyzing my life and story and trying to assemble a big picture of what is happening and why, you know it’s not always related to you, or any one person, or voice you experience in life, ultimately you have to be in control of your own voice, whether that’s talking in therapy and lightening up, or admitting to your audience you are struggling and so open and embarrassingly humiliated by voices and symptoms, you too can move forward if I can. If life were interdependent and people expect one or the other to take the higher road, or provide the care, not the opinion or be overly critical of an audience response, or voice generated by content, then I can assume it would be me that would need to change not the voice or the audience reaction or comment, that much you can’t really control, what others think, what bothers others, what people trust, what people want or need, or the standards that they expect to be given and provided to them. As someone who blogs, I really don’t expect much from others, and can continue to live independently not allow myself to get so bent out of shape, by negative commentary.

Quotes:

The truth is unless you let go—forgive yourself, forgive the situation, realize the past is over—you cannot move forward.

— STEVE MARABOLI

When things start to fall apart in your life, you feel as if your whole world is crumbling. But actually it’s your fixed identity that’s crumbling. And that’s cause for celebration.

— PEMA CHÖDRÖN

Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life.
