Indeed. My attitude is key.

That someone was Byron Katie, author of Loving What Is. It's not the things that happen to us, it's how we feel about those things.

Next time something bad happens 'to' you, and you have pained yourself thing about it...ask yourself;

Is it true

Can I absolutely know its true

How do I react when I thing that thought (that's it true and it hurts me)

Where would I be with out that thought.

Thanks mr wave :)

I try to definetly tell myself that i dont have the whole story, all the information, even though my intellect and intuition say so blankstare

im an over reactor I do not like feeling, feeeeeeeel ing hurt, rejected, dissed and i react badly i cant sit and stew in those feelings i must OVER react lol, but.

If I pray and calm down my reactions are less over powering but that takes a desire.

You are welcome, anytime. BTW my 'handle' implies a lot of things, one being that I felt like my life was a bunch if peaks and troughs too.

Recently I felt hit in the head by my adult son. My ex and I were very hurt by a decision he made. My girl friend did the 'work' with me about this, and the freedom I experienced was amazing. I cried with relief as I let the stress go. Why do I make myself suffer? When instead I can just accept and love. There is a lot of freedom in letting go.....
