Asking For Help...Screaming

When things turn for the worse and you don't know how to fix the problem. You wouldn't even know where to begin. What do you do? Run away? Na that didn't work. Problem still there and bigger yet. Now what? Who do you rely on? Who do you call?

Working on the past still! Holding on to ill feelings. When do we let it go? Time? There has been a lot of that. Deep breaths and one more. Seems to help? Not so sure. Trying to stay positive for the future. God brought me here and he will get me out. Faith! Huge.

push it to the sump pump and get rid of the waste, not just the water. once it's gone, it's gone.

The thing about "problems" is that during their formation, they became a memory. And as far as I know, we can't erase them. Screaming, crying, threatening, worrying, bargaining, denying...none of those work. The memory will always remain. The grooves in the brain allow us to create and recall, that is our human anatomy, like it or not. But think about it, memories make us who we are today, good and bad. I think I've even read that in one of your blogs. The only choice you have is the response you give to the problem once is surfaces again. And it will, because like it or not, it is now a memory. Think back to your reaction to the problem in the past, how did you react? And ask, how's that response working for me? Now think about how you are going to react the next time the problem arises. Change your reaction. Practice the reaction out loud with yourself so you'll be ready. Look in the mirror and say the words. You probably won't see a difference in the problem right away. But hey, after all it is only used to the old response. Stay strong and keep giving "it" the new reaction and maybe it will get the message. You see, it too has a memory attached to it that you can help change. You are in control only of your reaction...not the problem.
