Enough Love to Go Around
Facts fly out the window and behaviors will be ignored. The enemy, FEAR, causes logic and peace to become scarce. Another situation that leaves me open to the "what ifs" and the "I am not good enoughs". The action of others will disappoint and I wear it like a heavy cape...weighing down on my shoulders. Al-Anon tools are too often set by the wayside and default emotions take control.
Is it that I lack the courage to believe that life should feel richly abundant and deeply connected? Or perhaps I know that is exactly what it is suppose to be like that but that, somehow, I am not deserving.
Not so, there is enough love to go around. Today will be better. Today I will remember the following:
Today is a victory.

Not so, there is enough love to go around. Today will be better. Today I will remember the following:
1. My thoughts are
not necessarily truth….in fact, often times they are far from it.
2. Remember that fear
was once a needed coping mechanism; that was then and this is now. I have the intelligence
to use reason and logic rather than emotion and reactions.
3. Using meditation
and mindfulness throughout the day; be aware of those thoughts that are NOT me.
Refocus and breathe. Breathe. BREATHE
4. Hyper self
protection needs to be a thing of yesterday. Recognize it for what it is and
know that the result will be emotional isolation.
5. Remember that it
takes perseverance and practice, lots of it. Preparing myself for trigger
situations in advance to avoid back sliding
6. Each time I notice that state of negativity, use it as an
opportunity to practice, to mindfully observe thoughts with acceptance and compassion.
7. Celebrate the victories…no matter how small.
Today is a victory.
