So I found this article on FB today and I decided, for some reason, I needed to post it onto this blog. Even though I haven't written on here in mult. years? Why?? Maybe this was a calling? a nudge from God? Who knows, but I decided I should follow the instructions because it just might help someone? Who knows?
I am reading a book called "The Mindful Way Through Depression" and it basically follows what this article says. You can't just decided to be more grateful and not give other emotions their time they need. They are emotions and who is to say that we aren't allowed to feel that way? Guilt and gratitude can not live in the same place at the same time! I like it!
I biggest problem at this very moment is how do I give those I love time and energy that I feel I need to give to myself? I don't give myself time and energy... I know this is no ones problem but my own. No one forces me to live and think that way. I do it on my own free will. I just don't know how to "give" to everyone. I don't know how to make myself a priority without sacrificing others. My husband I haven't been getting along at all lately. It make me sad and angry. That I can't figure out how to make this work out without compromising myself... how do you do that? It is the same as finding time to exercise without something else sacrificing? It seems so complicated, however I believe the answer is easy, I just can't seem to see it. I have a few friends who seem to do well with this. When I ask them about it, they don't even seem to understand the question. This is what makes me believe it is easy... it is so easy that people don't understand the question when I ask it. They must be thinking, "she must not be asking what I think she is asking...that is crazy???" It kinda makes me smile just thinking about it.
