Geeze, could someone turn the voice off in my head. Now, that I am paying attention to it I see how much inner complaining, blaming I do. The thought bangs on the door of my mind and I let it barge right in. I was pretty good about ushering it out and regrouping. It would be easier if it didn’t knock at all. I’m trying to live in my body more by being aware of it more and my mind and emotions less. Mind you, there’s not a thing wrong with either but I spend most of my time in my mind and emotions and I’m willing to try a different approach. How’s everyone doing?

I had to chuckle because misery loves company! I've been in a funk for days now. I call all these types of things "the mosquitos" of life. It's like one more thing and you're going to pull the trigger. What I hate and this seems to apply to m
Oh my gosh! I felt your inner pain ... and I apologize for the fact that when I got to the part about setting your hair on fire, I laughed. I'm so glad you weren't hurt, and hair grows back. Perhaps a new hair-do would not only rectify the situation 
There is no such thing as a legal separation in my state..The only way I can get husband out of the house is to force him out..He refuses to leave..I would have to file for divorce and get temporary orders including a restraining order..
I feel so
Be Kind to Your Mind. I wrote a thread on this yesterday. Those old grooves are just about worn out, lol.
Observing my mind, without getting caught up in the story. The same old story.
It’s been an interesting exercise, the meditation I do that talks about observing the mind, without getting caught up in the story.
And sometimes I do listen to the story. My own story in my mind. And I think that is old. That doesn’t work, you’ve knawed on that bone all your life.
And it’s so refreshing to be able to objectively observe without getting caught up. I love giving my mind a break once in a while. And just being.
Actually I’m doing well today. I’m even having my folks over & haven’t stressed about it, but there’s no meal involved, so maybe that’s why.
These are all good comments & ideas. Funny, since you brought this up a few days ago I have been mindful & it’s been pretty easy sailing, correcting my inner voice here & there when I need to, but I guess I’ve been in a ‘good’ mood & life has been easy lately.
Maybe it’s karma, but I got a good deal on a new microwave today…my other is only 8 yrs old & have to replace it…some might have had a meltdown about that, but I always figure you can’t argue with a machine. Reeled in some great Bargooooons today at Sears as well, so Colour Me Happy!
Now, having said that...let’s see how the world looks to me next week when my hormones will be holding my emotions hostage. I’ll be begging for a support group here………
Hi watermusic, interesting name. What does it mean? Or did I miss you telling us somewhere?
What an great idea. I read your thread yesterday and thought, I should join that. It’s a worthwhile endeavor. Then I proceeded to post something to one of my VN sisters that was in nature, negative. So, it didn’t last very long. This is like lent. I’m not Catholic but I can see the benefits fo purging the bad. But, I think I will break down the negative things by starting with the smallest to the largest. So here goes:
Whew, I’m tired of thinking so hard. Later.
Hugs
Watermusic comes because I paddle and sing. I love Tolle’s books too. A friend says, “undamn yourself honey.”
I just found this post and I’m going to start. I’m in the middle of a very negative situation, but am ready to “walk on”. Watermusic, my daughter’s hebrew name is Mayim Shira (water music). Coincidence? or am I guided to you?
Hmm, I assumed the name came from Handel’s Watermusic Suite.
Wasn’t sure you would keep this going so I replied on yesterday’s post.
I did an 8 hour shift yesterday and all went well. It was fairly easy to stay positive since I was working with two very upbeat women and they are not into gossip.
So far so good. The big challenge will come Wednesday night when I will be working with different people all together.
For today, the weather is gorgeaous, I have lots of housecleaning to do, wash will go on the clothesline, will be picking up my son at his father’s so we can have supper together, afterwards we usually sit and watch shows off the net. He always has interesting sites to visit. I love having him around.
Have a great day everyone.

I’m trying to stay focused and busy, so my mind won’t wander. If my mind wanders, the negative thoughts will interfere I am on so much medication,that I find this is very difficult.
