Yes We Do!
We Sometimes Do Anyways.
We get all in our feelings, all stressed out, all anxious, and just can’t stop picking at whatever is bothering us.
We feel like the world is coming to an end, well; our world anyways.
That’s when we’ve just gotta…
There’s an answer for how we’re feeling, and nine times out of ten it isn’t as much about the details as we may think.
But, it most probably is, how we’re feeling about the details, and just like if you’re sitting there picking at a scab on your arm, before long that scab is going to fester.
Nobody wants to be told that “its going to be alright,” when they don’t feel that it is.
Yet, I’m telling you right now that allowing yourself to wallow in your feelings only makes a possible move up out of those feelings nearly impossible.
Sometimes we just have to Let it Be so that we can find our way forward from feeling like hostages to feeling free.
Do you really think living in times of trouble is the way our lives are meant to be?
Let it Be.
Maybe, this song written by Paul McCartney back in the 60’s will help. He was feeling rather rough too. He suffered with stress and anxiety big time.
It not only made him feel crappy, but all his crap was landing on everyone around him.
Then, he had a dream in which his mother Mary came to him.
It soothed him to see her, and the words of wisdom she brought, helped him out of his darkness back into the light.
His successful attempt at reaching a catharsis enabled him to compose a song that is still resonate today.
Let it Be might help you too.
Just humming it sure helps me!
Wouldn’t it be nice if it was that easy.

Thank-you for sharing some background to this song, Jen. That added a new dimension to it. I know it is hard advice to receive when you are feeling low, but if we could incorporate this wisdom into our thoughts, it could be easier. Like you said, when Paul felt crappy, that effected everyone around him. Have a great week!

Ash, imagine me just walking around the house, then pop 💥 a new blog idea 💡 occurs to me out of no where. I rush to write it down, especially the 1st lines or two before it gets away. Then, I let it be until I can find my images, and hopefully eek out the rest of it.
Sometimes my 8/11 sheet is chocked full. Not every idea makes the cut though, but I’m glad I get them anyway. At my age, keeping my mind sharp is 🔑.

We all have our process, don’t we? I like how this shines a little light on yours. It’s crazy how some of our ideas sit dormant until we feel they are ready for the world and some which may not, but we let it be anyway. It’s a huge part of creating. Age is just a number…keep on being you, Jen.

Wendy, ‘Unfold’ is a dandy word to use in this context. I get an instant visual. 🤩 Make the positive force ✨ of our illustrious Universe take you safely where you want to go this and every week.

Thank you for this. I’ve been working to rid myself of the habit of not being able to “stop picking at whatever is bothering [me]”!

Leslie have you ever tried laughing 😝 your more habitual bothers into oblivion? Better yet, how would those bothers sound to an audience if you were doing stand-up? Pick ‘em up one by one, and let ‘em fly. Just curious! 🤔

It’s not always easy, and maybe there are a few exceptions. Yet, the weight of carrying too much around (that we refuse to let go) makes letting something be a must, if for no other reason than instantly feeling lighter!😉
