Language of Letting go - July 20
From Melody Beattie's book -
LETTING GO OF RESISTANCE
Do not be in such a hurry to move on.
Relax. Breathe deeply. Be. Be in harmony today.
Be open.
There is beauty around and in us today. There is purpose and meaning in today.
There is importance in today - not so much in what happens to us, but in how we respond.
Let today happen. We learn our lessons, we work things out, we change in a simple fashion: by living our life fully today.
Do not worry about tomorrow's feelings, problems, or gifts.
Do not worry about whether we can trust ourselves, life , or our HP tomorrow.
Everything we need today shall be given to us. That is a promise from God, from the Universe.
Feel today's feelings.
Solve today's problems.
Enjoy today's gifts.
Trust yourself, life, and your HP today.
Acquire the art of living fully today.
Absorb the lessons, the healing, the beauty, the love available to us today.
Do not be in such a rush to move on. There is no hurry. We cannot escape; we only postpone.
Let the feelings go; breathe in peace and healing.
Do not be in such a hurry to move on.
Today, I will not run from myself, my circumstances, or my feelings. I will be open to myself, others, my HP and life. I will trust that by facing today to the best of my ability, I will acquire the skilss I need to face tomorrow.

Thank you for posting this, it is just what I needed today! I have been too focused on the future and wondering when my RA friend will return to work (and therefore, to my daily life again). It’s supposed to happen, but nobody has said when, so I feel like things are moving in slow motion, especially because he still hasn’t contacted me. I know that I need to stop worrying about the “when” and just focus on what’s happening around me today.

OMG thank you...this selection is exactly what i needed to hear today. I have been feeling like utter CRAP the past few days, anxious, unnerved, lonely, sad.... I've been focusing a lot on the "what if" part of the future instead of thinking about right now today.
I'm lonely right now bc my partner is in rehab. That should tell me that I have been neglecting my social life while in a relationship with an alcoholic/addict.
I need to try to move away from trying to predict the future and running every scenario in my head ("what will she be like when she comes home", "will she stay sober and work a program", "will things change for the better", etc etc) and focus on what I need to do today.
I definitely haven't been living in today for the past week and it's driving me crazy!
