Easier said than done Right?!!!! Was having a conversation with a friend yesterday about this very thing. We were talking about some of the challenges we where experiencing in life lately, and the thing I love about this friend is she didn't turn our conversation into a pity party. You know those, why me? Wailing and bawling conversations (Nothing wrong with bawling) I love a good bawl sometimes, its cleansing I find.
Well she made a point that stuck in my head, about being responsible. She made the decision a while back that she was going to take responsibility for every aspect of her life, yes every aspect. Saying that there are moments when she has a little voice in her head (you know the voice) it says " BUT ITS NOT FAIR"
I've learnt that the events, circumstances in my life are a big beautiful mirror reflecting who I am right here and now. MMMMNNNNN.
Remember that tune anyone? Things that make you go MMMMMNNN.. MMMNN..
MMMNNN!
Lots of things in my mirror of life make me sing that song. The powerful questions for me are; What did I say, do, choose that brought this situation to me? What can I say, do, choose now to make things different? What does it all mean to me? How can I learn and grow from it? Where's the positive?
I bet you too have had those moments when you think??!!! What bloody positive? There's none? I'm deep in it! its all around me!! and I can't see for it!!! What's it?!! Yep SHITE!!! Lol!
When I'm in that place I breath, deeply, deliberately, consciously. I find the positive meaning (shite is wicked fertiliser for my growth;) I remember all the things and people I have right now that I'm grateful for. I have a truthful chat with myself and answer my questions:
What did I say, do, choose that brought this situation to me? What can I say, do, choose now to make it different? What does it mean to me? How can I learn and grow from it? Where's the positive?
Then I step, dance, sing, smile into my life again.
Don't sweat the shite! It won't be there forever.
I like to remember times when I felt so bad or lost and how if I think back to that time now it has no meaning, it wasn't a big deal! What was all the fuss about;)
