Musings

Recently, I’ve concluded it’s not my negativity that gets in the way; negativity arises spontaneously, as an instinctive response to an unpreferable circumstance. It’s my temptation to CLING to the negativity that holds me back–whether that manifests as denial, suppression, pretending it doesn’t exist, arguing whether it should be there, arguing whether it shouldn’t…when I let myself think whatever I spontaneously think, when I let myself feel whatever I spontaneously feel, my negativity gets to have its say, it gets to rant and rave, and then it leaves after it runs out of steam. Thus far, this is the fastest way for me to process it so I can move on.

Ironically, I’ve found it’s possible to do this without any outward indication that it’s happening within.
