Just passing through this place...life for me is quite full...bubbling with positive activity of moving forth through challenges on way to higher plain. I'm feeling discomfort and at times frustration and anger...but I am acknowledging my emotions. I am praying for God's help and journaling golden nuggets of divine insight and awareness as they are revealed to me.
I am enduring through challenges in finance, transportation, interpersonal interaction, career, learning new procedure; I am working steps in two programs and living steps in several others...because I know that challenge takes extra energy I am practicing loving kindness to myself by listening to the wisdom expressed in one of my favorite recovery slogans, "easy does it (but do it)". So, slowly but surely I'm walking through this challenging time.
Finding that most important to emotional sobriety at this time is "living flowly" again..slowing my roll, not taking on additional responsibility of any sort right now; conscious contact with God: practicing my daily devotional reading, extracting an action that I can practice to grow in relationship with God; prayers and meditation; journaling what ever pops up; and writing down reoccurring thoughts (which equate to worry) that prompt discomfort...deflating their impact by affirming God's love; and also writing down and taking positive action towards solution; practicing transparency with those I trust not to shame or ridicule me for my thoughts. And, last but certainly not least...surrender...trusting God's way out :)
I'm just passing through...thankful for lessons I am learning that are improving the quality of my life; lessons that may be of service to others in the future when they too are passing through this same place of uncertainty...
What works for you when you are "passing through"?
