Progress Is an Important Foundation

You can go through moments that can bring everything to light. It can make you see the bigger picture and have you notice what needs to feel taken care of now. We must never let our anger get the better of us or let it control us. Once we have admitted defeat to it, then it can control us. Realizing the progress that you feel and the fact I can see when it could happen. That is always the moment to hit the pause button. There is no punishment with hitting the pause button. There can be consequences when your anger spirals out of control in a quick moment. Things may not be as bad as they are when you think about them later. There could be a way to fix them and acting out of anger would ruin that from happening. You notice if you see the anger keep creeping up and you notice when it is coming up. The moment your anger feels louder will be different depending on the person. I encountered a good feeling when I noticed how quickly I was able to recover from feeling angry. It felt good to notice that it was happening, take the proper steps to avoid it hurting anyone, thinking about it later it was not so important. It took time and time and more time, but it became clear there was a pattern happening. When you do not want something to control you, then you try to take control over it for the next time. Feeling the relief and happiness of it ending is something I need to add to feel grateful for. We all can have tough battles daily, weekly, whenever. We cannot take ourselves down ever, so we must look at the situation and see how things went down. You can understand what you tried to do but also see where you might have made a mistake. This does not mean we turn out the lights and play a game of “Tear Ourselves Down.” That will help nobody and only set back progress you could be making. We will instead play a game called “What I learned Today.” That seems to me to be better for everything. What did you learn today navigating through life? Do you see a pattern of something you want to stop doing? There is nothing to feel shame and guilt about. You did the best you could at the time. Everyone will have a view over an event, but your view still matters. When things end up feeling tough, we want to run. I want to run away, but like tearing ourselves down it does nothing for us. We can notice the good and toxic things we feel about ourselves. We do not need fear to be our guide but instead choose love. The fear will not be going anywhere until you face it enough times to scare it away. When we decide on who we want to be we make a choice. Let us all hope that we made the right choice.
