Sharing My Thoughts...

I've been going through some things lately & I had to come to the realization that some things aren't as difficult as they appear. In both writing this entry & re-reading it, I just felt the pressure ease with each sentence. I hope it does the same for you...


Understand… that whatever is happening with you at this very moment, can be contained in just the moment.

Understand… that it is you & only you who are allowing it to happen, so you can stop it from happening.

Once this moment passes, all the emotions you are now feeling can pass with it.

Refrain from making things seem more important than they actually are. While it is important to recognize the effect they have on you, do not fall into a habit of magnifying them. It only makes them that much harder to release when it is time to.

Remind yourself constantly that you control your thoughts. Even if you can’t control what initially caused them, you still have the power to either erase them or to minimize the effect they have on you or will potentially have.

Don’t be afraid to blame yourself for things you did wrong, only if you actually did do them wrong. If you don’t admit that it was a mistake, then you can’t learn from it.

Make an effort to forgive yourself for things you think you may have either allowed to happen or may have contributed to. Whether it was to you or to someone else…

Cliché as it sounds, spend time alone with yourself. If you’ve never done so or haven’t in a while, it may seem a bit difficult to do at first, but it is extremely important. Do it until you even start conversing with yourself and laughing at your own jokesJ At that point, you’ll know for sure that you don’t need anyone to complete you or to make you happy.

Always remember to live a little. Enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Take things as they come and let them go in the same fashion.

And never forget to laugh… lots.
