Just Sitting with Myself...

In the Taoist tradition:

Gentleness overcomes fear.
Kindness overcomes anger.
Compassion overcomes worry or anxiety.
Joy overcomes impatience.
Personal power overcomes pain.

I am realizing now that I haven't really done a good job allowing myself my feelings. It is something I still have to work at in the present. Even though people say to let go & I struggle to do this "letting go," everyone lets go in their own time and in their own way.

I am learning to allow myself all of my feelings and to stay present with those feelings particularly when I don't like them. (Which happens more frequently than I care to admit!)

Triggers...

So, I am not an obsessive freak all the time!

Nope, only when I get triggered by stress. By drama. By engaging in judgment.

I've been spending more time with my practice of presence. Being present with my body. Being in my body. And meeting myself with Love.

It's not always easy. It is most definitely always worth it.

Be well.
