RE: I'm gonna get there: defeating negative self-talk
@orangina, I love the picture your son drew! I believe we have a lot to learn from children ;). I, too, had to fight depressing thoughts a few years ago. I had them for no reason whatsoever! Just when everything seemed perfect, FEAR tiptoed into my subconscious- and oh mine! I was afraid of my own shadow, not even talking about the crippling fear for the future of my kids. Meditation saved me. I have to meditate 2-4 times a day (short 5–10 min guided meditations) to keep myself balanced. I also listened to a lot of Alan Watts. A lot! :) We can do it together! We’ll get there :)
Thank you! I will tell my son his art is getting noticed! :-)
Isn't it wild the things we can worry about, like you said, for no reason!?! It is infuriating and yet, there it is. I don't usually think to bust out the guided meditation during the day, but if needed I will come up with some phrases to repeat to myself until I calm down or get distracted. But with perseverance, we will get there! Courage to you!
