Pain And Power

I’ve been struggling. Like many of you have been. I’ve tried fighting. I’m in deep thought. I think I need to stop trying so hard and be with my pain and breathe and remember that there are times that I feel okay,... just not many. Like a rainbow which isn’t seen often but when it is, its the awe of it’s beauty after the storms that take over. We awaken and remember.

So today I’m going to try to be alone as much as I can so I don’t snap at people...

And every time my mind switches to worry about future events, or scary images of past traumas, I will acknowledge them then punch the thoughts down like a parachute deflating of its air, it’s power. I now have it. I sit with it and I am the power. Pain and power.

Wonderful insight

Yes too much pain. What power is there to ease or remove it or even go through it with us to provide comforting?

The power of belief that pain turns into heaven and everything will be alright. I picture angels as going through it with us. I hear that some people believe we have two angels assigned to us; one to protect and one to write down our deeds.

Yes I need to learn this. Anxiety is robbing me of the present. God Bless

Thanks Ddorne Blessings to you too. yes we should try to stay in the present. It’s annoying to me how when I try to be in the moment my mind tends to mess with me and pull up past hurts and oh no what if this happens later down the road...etc...All we can do is try our best and that will have to be good enough.

I love how you mention rainbows because your right you rarely see them but when you do it’s a beauty of a sight.

It’s a wild time and I to am just trying to ride how I’m feeling day in and day out and not fighting it. Having good days and bad days. Days where I sleep more then some others.

As those thoughts come in just tell yourself it’s just a thought and let it just roll on through. Easier said then done I know. I’m certainly working on this myself time and time again.
