Anyways, I woke up this morning and had to run some errands, I crossed the street to my car and invisioned getting hit by one twice (i live on a small street so having this thought twice is awful) it's getting worse. I have no control over these toughts but i am learning how to play with it... Does this happen to anyone? Can anyone offer some advice?
I'm still searching for the inner child but right now I found that adult and I don't know what to do with her, before I even have a chance to speak with her she gets killed = ) I found her though so that is a positive! |
Dear Dee:
(this is just my take)
These manifestations may be brought about by the health concerns of your family members.
Your wanting to be there for them and knowing that there is nothing you can humanly do (outside of praying and offering positive words) could leave one to feel powerless.
No power: No life.
SNAP out of it.
SEE what is going on around you and if certain things are out of your control, refer to the Serenity Prayer.
NURTURE your feelings and know that from time to time, you may need time by yourself to collect your thoughts and relieve the stress.
ALLOW yourself to come first and by doing so, it will provide you with the ability to be there for others.
PREVENT others from placing demands on your time that you have not already scheduled yourself, without first evaluating the situation.
