I am not impervious to worry.
I still have moments of fear or self-doubt.
What’s changed is my practiced ability to emotionally regulate and check the facts.
It’s my practiced ability to be skillful and ask myself, “How important is this?”
It’s asking myself, “Am I going to let this (person, place or thing) rob me of my peace?”
It’s reminding myself not to take anything personally – what anyone else does is a reflection of them – not me.
Sometimes this is easy, other times not so much.
S, 🌻
you are spot on. We all have these moment but it is how we process them before they become consuming.
Exactly! 🌻
I remember Cher once said her mother had asked her “Will, whatever is worrying you, still worry you in 5 years?” She said “No” And her mother replied “Then don’t worry about it now”
Good advice!! 🌻
