Essential Official Random Thoughts Thread (Ladies only)

hey @MarsPunka, I know everyone is giving you advice but heres my 2 cents:

Let go of expectations. You don't have to get rid of your standards but treat everything one day at a time.

Don't worry about the future, focus on today. Take things as they come because when you worry about the future and may happen, it can trigger anxiety.

Try to forgive the problems of the pass. Whether it was yourself or another who caused problems. Don't take those issues with you into your future. Instead, learn from them.

When you focus on the past, you tense up because you are expecting history to repeat itself. Instead, take the lessons from those trials, so you are prepared to face your fears and issues head on.

Remember when you're tense, you sink. You have to learn to relax and breathe, this way you can float and go with the flow.

This is my issue that I can't seem to move past.I think way too much and get myself worked up and half the time it's over nothing. Then I start to have anxiety attacks, I meditate and I am trying to grow out of it, it's just difficult.

It's not easy, it takes a lot of practice. I have anxiety issues too but this has helped me a lot. It's good that you meditate, but you know you can meditate at any time. Even when you are doing something.

What you do is focus inwards on your body as you are completing a task. Focus on your senses, what you see, smell, taste, hear and feel. Not on your thoughts. Focus on the now.

When you feel your thoughts going in the wrong direction. Bring it back to the center to your breathing. It's all about shifting focus to the present. What's happening now.

Breathing is very important. Shallow breathing is what we do when we are scared anxious and nervous. Because of pollution and a high stress lifestyle, we are used to breathing shallow normally. Just like how our feelings can affect our body, your body posture and breathing affects our feelings and mood.

Remember to breathe deep and full with longer exhales than inhales, and to breathe from your belly and diaphragm rather than your chest.

Some days it's the little shyt. Other days we can take huge catastrophes in stride. Go easy on yourself.

You were detached and wanted space in previous incarnations. Love may be hard to find, recognize, or keep in this lifetime since you have so little soul experience with it.

that seems harsh.

It's not lying though. I spent the last half hour or so reading my charts and the explanations or whatever and shyt was bleak. That was the last thing I read and it made me sad as shyt. I can't wait to get home so I can write in my journal.

 

[Ello_Vee]

Well that is a sad way to end the reading!
