Sometime through Cognitive Behavioural Class last year, we came across this thing about worrying. A case study brought us to meet Kate who was always worrying. So then fine let's take on a different approach. If you're going to worry anyways, set aside time a day for your worrying. For 5 minutes or 10 depending on what you need, worry! Just let it all flood your mind, don't hold back. In this aspect, it is also a bit Gestalt. In that just do what comes naturally, do not block whatever needs to be released. What needs to happen here?
So today I cried.
For a good 20 minutes I did nothing but sat down and cried. Until there were no tears left. This is over a boy of course, and the loneliness that I've felt since we no longer talked or communicate in any fashion. What needed to happen was for me to express my inner emotions. And it was sadness and loneliness.
I feel a little better now, tired. But a little bit of the stress has been lifted. Just a little but that's awesome. Now I can go on with the rest of my day.
In Tuesdays with Morrie, there was a chapter about feeling sorry for yourself. It said that each morning, Morrie allowed tears to come for a few minutes. Then he gets on with his day. Get all the crying out of your system. Everyone experiences sadness, and loneliness. So what, right? We all have our own battles.
This is mine for this moment in time. I shall go with the flow and ride along. The universe will conspire to help me.
