Musings

When I deal with my negativity, it seem to be my identification with it that determines how fast it leaves.

Of course the emotion is me, but it isn’t me in my entirety. So I let it be felt, because otherwise, I would be denying a part of myself. At the same time, I try not to prolong it by rationalizing why it should or shouldn’t be there. In my experience, that just gives it a reason to persist–I get tied up in countering the rationalization, countering the counter, and so on and so forth.

It’s already there, so I let it be. And in turn, I find it does the same (maybe it’s following my lead because it’s literally me, though not in my entirety). Then, with that expanded allowance, the rest of me is allowed to rebalance the whole.
