After physically doing what I can, I can still do more by priming my perception–by letting things be. This allows me to abide in an open and alert state of mind, without wearing myself down or narrowing my awareness.

Even if I can’t let my negativity go, then I let it be just as it is, without speaking or acting on it (which could easily get me in trouble), but fully feeling it. In my experience, that allows it to leave of its own accord, without strengthening its presence through my rationalization or denial, and seems to be the fastest and easiest way to allow it to move on.

    Wise words, for sure.

  2. Your sharing of these reflections is appreciated. Sometimes we need to leave certain issues in the back burner while turning up the heart on another situation.

  3. I appreciate this.  Thanks,Sandra A. Morgan, MBASent from my iPad


  4. Feel it all the way, that’s how it goes away!

  5. Wow! That just blew my mind. I really needed to read that!


  6. Wow! You blew my mind. I really needed to read just now. Thank you.

  7. A very positive approach
    Not always a guarantee, but sometimes due one of those many, many quirks of Human Nature if you do let a negativity be, there in the background it may just evolve into something more upbeat ( and there are so many possibilities there).

  8. The Beatles said the same thing.

    When I find myself in times of trouble,

    Mother Mary comes to me

    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

    And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me

    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

    And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree

    There will be an answer, let it be

    For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see

    There will be an answer, let it be

    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

    There will be an answer, let it be

    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be

    And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me

    Shinin’ until tomorrow, let it be

    I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

    And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

    Whisper words of wisdom, let it beAnd let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

    You can listen to it on Spotify.

    1. I love this song! I could listen to it over and over.

  9. Not being able to act on something, especially a negative feeling – is an awful feeling, but – I’ve learned to put those emotions into reading, writing, blasting music and taking a ride somewhere, and something I love to do.
    I like to you know acting will get you into trouble. It shows common sense.

    You got this!

    Have a great Sunday my friend. 💕

    1. You too!

  10. Negativity rules a good part of my life, always has. I think I was born that way. Oh, well…

  11. Hi friend, yes, that ‘ol death anxiety is a lifetime companion ✌🏼💀
