In other words, are we stuck with whatever temperament and emotional dispositions we're born with? I believe we can "act" differently when we are taught to do so or if we choose to, but are we still the same internally?<br /><br />I say this because we seem to struggle with the same pattern of issues; at least, I do. But, thank God for maturity, wisdom, and even hormones that can play tricks on us, but can also help us with lessening the overreacting that was once strong.<br /><br />Does that make sense? :)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-24534077673602445002013-11-23T06:56:34.871-08:002013-11-23T06:56:34.871-08:00Thanks Mit!

Lately it seems like I try to be positive for all the people around me instead of for myself, but in a way it helps me stay positive for myself too. Also, I'm too busy lately for real pity parties about anything.

As you say, it's just not enough to say; get over it. On the contrary I think we might be better off accepting the feelings they awake. It's a way to not get rid of them, but not to burdening us in the present. Any way I totally agree with you: All we can do is take the best out of every situation we live.

The best help I've found is "You Can't Afford The Luxury Of A Negative Thought: A Book for People with Any Life-Threatening Illness--Including Life" by Peter McWilliams and John-Roger. It's an easy, no-nonsense read that I revisit over and over, and always helps me let stuff go…<br /><br />You've heard that quote, "What don't kill me makes me strong"? Anger is at the top of the list. It can be a difficult practice to work with it, because most of us tend to think that anger is our #1 defense, when in fact it only hurts us...<br /><br />I'm confidant you will find your way through it though this thorny issue, Linda. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-49384258775774800242013-11-19T07:56:02.090-08:002013-11-19T07:56:02.090-08:00large warning 'STOP' sign.large warning 'STOP' sign.fsmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594381836263987490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-34670378435191968662013-11-19T07:54:18.662-08:002013-11-19T07:54:18.662-08:00When bad memories come to mind, I've learned a...When bad memories come to mind, I've learned a few techniques.

Obviously one can change the past by looking at it differently. It is the repetitiveness of bad thoughts that makes it all worse. <br /><br />Good post, Linda, and your peacock feather is beautiful and so are the deer. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-30724753836791699602013-11-17T23:09:04.225-08:002013-11-17T23:09:04.225-08:00A very thoughtful post today Linda.

Working in the nhs I see so many lives cut short by illness that as long as I am breathing I count my blessings. Also to me feelings are just feelings but I appreciate that is just me.

"What is essential is to see that one is confused and not try to escape from it, not try to find explanations for it; be passively, choicelessly, aware. And then you will see that quite a different action springs from that passive awareness, because if you make an effort to clarify the state of confusion, what you create will still be confused. But, if you are aware of yourself, choicelessly, passively aware, then that confusion unfolds and fades away."
