“ For me, A lot of the "hard" questions were the ones that came from me, and directed toward myself.”
I’ve been having a lot of self reflection and am starting to quiet my mind more to process what I’m going through, what my emotions are telling me and who I am and what God is bringing me through. This is helping me to be more honest about myself..
The anger is settling and not driving me now like it did for awhile. It comes up, I recognize it, I acknowledge it, “I’m angry about that. That is wrong. That hurt me. I’m still healing from that.” Maybe some choice words to myself and an increased pace in my walk or run or intensity of that exercise set or riff on my guitar. And then I move through it (for now) and onto what I want to be doing. The sadness episodes can take a bit longer at times with some deep sobs and tears and pain.
But that thread about the stages of the LBS help me to see what others have gone through and to be patient with myself that I’m going THROUGH this stuff too on my timeline and in my way.
