[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 652718, member: 17542"] RE, so glad to get an update on YOU. Your writing always contains gems. I used to be the biggest worrier. I think I have written here that one time my own mother gave me a little embroidered pillow that sat on a stand. It said: Worry is a fast getaway on a wooden horse. It was a gift from her, so I can only imagine how I must have been behaving. I guess if I worried about everything, maybe that was the first level of trying to control??? Just thinking about the energy I used on just about everything, from world hunger to my grades to whether I was going to have enough money to how to get a raise...what did I know of problems back then, I mean real serious problems? The whole idea of boundaries...then letting go---that outward flinging out of everything---just flinging it into the Universe to absorb....and now I am practicing actually leaning in to negative situations. At first I forget to do it---I react, then stiffen up and harden so I can buffer it, and then....when that doesn't work! LOL....then, I start to accept.....and then now, try to move toward the situation in an introspective way...what can I learn from this? What is the Universe trying to teach me here.... I am even letting go of the feelings of sadness about distance and detachment and boundaries. They are necessary in life, for all people. It's just taken me this long to understand that. Warm hugs RE. You're the best. [/QUOTE]
