What do you do when something happens, especially something self-induced, that badly shakes you up and hurts another? In these situations it is always best to have a good friend or family member to confide in. However, what happens if you don’t have someone to confide in? If the event is too sensitive or too embarrassing to share? This is where I am at today, and I face the question of how to find acceptance, closure, and peace when there is no one to talk to about it? Letting the emotions run through should work, but they ignite other emotions, often stronger. Escaping the topic or the resulting emotions do not work and only creates more problems. The only thing I can think of to do is “Let go and Let God,” one of the more powerful thoughts that are taught by many of the communal addiction support groups. What if it is hard to let go? If the situation can be resolved with an action, immediately take that action. If the situation can’t be resolved with an action, give it to The Universe and let Her carry the burden. Worry accomplishes nothing. Magic thinking accomplishes nothing. The energy drain is overwhelming if stuck in this spot. Let go…and use the energy for much more productive activities. Success in another area will help take the sting out of the disappointment.
Break a heart? Help
to heal two
Leave a mess? Clean
it up better than before
Lose a friend? Make
two new friends
Hurt someone? Help
two others get over their pain
And let go…
