mikeymad Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) I'm in a short term "up" on this rollercoaster of emotion, so I guess I got a wild hair up my butt today. Ok Debbie Downers and Michael Mopers, this is your friday wake up call. I'm not sugar coating this. Pretty much most of us feel like we suck on some level. And guess what, you're right. You suck because you think you suck. It's the old axiom of "whether you think you can or can't.....you're right." It's called self limiting beliefs. Seen the movie Shawshank Redemption? Andy Dufresne crawled through a quarter mile of crap just to come out the other side clean. We're all in the crap right now, myself included. Read this list to yourself, out loud is best, but really strive to internalize it. Believe it. It'll help you get through the crap quicker I hope, and help you make choices for the only person you have at the end of the day....yourself. That's the best person though, and that person is worthy of an amazing life. Best....mikeymad "I love and accept myself as I am knowing that by doing this I can love others more fully and they can love me" "All my relationships are now loving and harmonious" "I now attract the perfect partner into my life" "I deserve love and happiness" "I attract only loving and uplifting people into my life" "My friends are mutually loving and supportive" "The past has no power over me, I forgive all those that need my forgiveness and I forgive myself" "I love and accept myself the way I am and I love and accept others in the same way" "Everyone I come into contact with appreciates me for the wonderful person that I am" "I make friends easily wherever I go" Edited April 30, 2010 by mikeymad
mimidarlin Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Good job Mikey, Separation and divorce is so difficult that seems impossible to not become bitter. I'm hurt and I'm angry but I made a decision to not poison myself. If I put energy into hating him, harassing him or disrespecting him it wouldn't do anything to him. He'll just turn away and move on. It might matter to him on some level but he will be able to walk away. If I keep that anger it will eat away at me. I have bad days but I'm trying very hard to find joy everyday. I can laugh and still be in pain on some level. I embrace the pain when it washes over me but I'm trying to not let it consume most of my waking/sleeping hours. I have to feel the pain because the only way out is through. The next stage of our life is terrifying when so much of our life was defined in reference to someone else. Now we can think of it as the wolf man kind of scary or the top of the roller coaster kind of scary. One seems like we're going to die. The other is scary but maybe a little exciting. A world of possibilities...reevaluate...restart.
