I think I see the picnic!

[keep_going]

((((((((((Vero)))))))))

sorry you are struggling today..

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.. (((((( )))))))
