Enjoying the ride...whatever form it comes in!

So what happens when you don't feel like being grateful and you don't feel like you are capable of being happy?  What happens then?  Nothing.  Some days we all just feel like sitting in our feelings and staying on the pity pot. It's part of the human experience.  What I've learned is that sooner or later you get tired of feeling crappy, you make a decision to feel better and then you take some sort of action that moves you in that direction.  I've also learned that by working to feel good most of the time that when you do feel bad it doesn't last as long.  Feeling our yucky feelings is just as important as feeling our yummy feelings.

So why am I talking about feeling bad, well honestly I'm feeling sad.  I have let go of my trying to control a relationship with someone I care about very deeply.  It was a choice that I made because I got tired of feeling yucky about the way the relationship was - it was also about taking care of myself.  It wasn't easy when I did it Tuesday and it's not easy today.  I am feeling less yucky than I was when it all happened.  I am still sad and I expect to be for a while but I don't feel bad/sad all the time.  I have my moments of joy and laughter.

Isn't the human experience amazing??  I think so.  It's all about working on being in the moment with whatever feeling you are having at that time and then realizing that they all pass.  Not just the yucky feelings but also the yummy, delicious feelings.  So just for today, actually just for this moment I am feeling heavy and sad but I know before the end of the day that I will feel different.  Especially since I am getting out and going to hang with family and friends.

Life is good in all its forms and I'm remembering to enjoy the laughter, the tears and anything in between. My EFT is definitely helping to move me through this.  I've forgotten about my Afformations until right this moment, so I am seriously grateful to be writing this so that I am reminded of an important tool.  I am reaching out and most importantly FEELING MY FEELINGS...all of them.  Have a wonderfully, amazing, human day - regardless of what the appearance may be.  The truth is that they are all yummy and delicious...yes even, maybe especially, the sad ones!
