Such a good reading for me today in
Todays Hope
Time for me to really let go of the trauma from over ten days ago.
Fear vs. Fact
Sometimes, when I am worried about something, and don’t have all of the information to negate my feelings, I begin to operate on fear instead of fact.
I allow my anxiety to fuel this fear and soon, I am working through every outcome I can imagine hoping that in some way, I will be better prepared when I do know what is going on.
But the truth is… I am not becoming better prepared each moment I spend obsessing on a fantasy. All I’m really choosing to do is mentally spin my wheels, and waste my time, and a perfectly good day, ruminating on outcomes that may never come to pass on a fear… that may not even exist.
I must make a conscience effort each day to wait for facts before allowing fear to take over.
It’s really hard for me to let go of trauma and when it might happen again. Maybe next time I can let it go sooner. Maybe not. But, just for today and probably tomorrow, I cannot control my future.
