Sometimes, "LIFE", and all of ...Hi again,<br />Sometimes, "LIFE", and all of our responsibilities simply don’t allow us to drop everything and go hide out. Wow, wouldn’t it be nice if we could?<br />Something that really assisted me thru my depression, (divorce of 17 years), or passage, was compartmentalizing my daily responsibilities and making a schedule. Once I had that done, I forced myself to stick with it. At first I kept it really simple, I would literally just do what absolutely had to be done.<br />Then as time went on, and I still wasn’t my old self but I was being functional at one thing a day and I could look back and see progress, I kicked it up a notch and a little later more, and then more. I’m at the point where I can clearly see I am succeeding and accomplishing and starting to feel a bit of my old Mojo coming back, but it’s hard and I still have a ways to go.<br />It’s really important that we not only allow ourselves to heal but give ourselves the permission and the time needed to heal. We could run away, cover it up and not deal with it but you know that won’t work; however if we can slow the world down or slow our world down to a workable speed for these critical healing times for ourselves, we typically can make the passage and be stronger, fuller and truer to ourselves and those around us.<br />You’ve have mentioned running a lot, you know you just don’t start out expecting to run 100 miles your first time out, not even 25 miles. We have to work up slowly and gain balance, stamina and inner core strength. That’s the physical aspect, when we get slammed real hard and our heart has been hurt, it needs tender care too to get back and build back up.<br />For me to tell you I understand your hurt or your pain would be an out and out lie. Only you know how deeply you are hurting right now and you need to schedule your healing time appropriately and sensitively enough for you to grow through this passage you are presently in.<br />In an earlier comment I mentioned you have to be your own, very best friend. Please be that, be aware and feel the love and caring you have and so readily share with others but are stingy with yourself; take that and give it to you for this short time while dealing with your life around you in small nibbles and then bigger ones and then bigger ones yet. So if I may… feed yourself some of your very own love cookies.<br />We all know this one… none of us, can eat the elephant all at once.<br /><br />I truly wish you well.<br />/GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333690.post-2544359198035199432009-09-15T18:28:44.910-07:002009-09-15T18:28:44.910-07:00Sorry you are having such difficulties.
