i tell myself to let W go, that is what love would do.. and that I will be okay..
I breathe to create space around what i am feeling..
i also start telling myself that i am smart, compassionate, fun, etc.... i keep going until i feel that my mind has shifted...
i also remind myself that i am in the "victim" role when my thoughts are negative... and i seek to remind myself of my power to make my life what i want it to be.. Lynne Forrest has a great website (google her) about the three victim roles (victim, rescuer, persecutor i think), how to recognize those roles and ways to change your thoughts to get out of those roles..
i smile that i have caught myself and have a choice to do something different. that tends to relax me and make it easier to do something different..
i read on the board some posts from people that inspire me (and there are many)
it is HARD though vero and I am sorry you are struggling.. (((((( )))))))
