When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
…When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must – but don’t quit.

How many times have we heard that we have to change this or that about our thinking. It is easier said than done.
Let’s get real here!
I heard the comment recently, “We are a society of thinking we have to think positively all the time.” This really struck me as crazy. We are human beings and life happens. We have reactions and sometimes they are not positive.
I have come up with a new way of thinking to let my feelings flow and if I need to cry it is permissible. It is amazing giving myself permission the feelings change and I feel better.
Recently, I had a hard time being creative. My days were spent responding to emails. I was taking to a friend and during the conversation it dawned on her that I was feeling very sad and had no energy to be creative.
Once I realized why the creative juices were not flowing a miracle happened and I started to experience my energy returning.
Moral of story if you feel your feelings we move forward quicker.
Please share your experiences with the Love Yourself – It Matters Community so we do not feel alone on our journeys.

Thank you Helen. I appreciate your candor.
Let’s get real indeed. So often times, as you state, so many ‘positive thinking’ gurus putting a mask on their true circumstances an feelings.
It has been my experience when I acknowledge my feelings and share them with another I trust, it enabless me to cultivate my creativity.
Some seasons that takes longer than others.
