- Back in September I received this comment from Ellen:In 'Eat, Pray, Love' (Elizabeth Gilbert) the author said her guru told her 'that you should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong instead.' This seems impossible sometimes in life when things are thrown at us from nowhere. Do you agree or disagree with the above guru's advice?
- I can see how that makes sense so I suppose I somewhat agree.It might work for some people.But for me, I find it's best to feel the feelings, even if I fall apart for a while. I have taught myself to recognise that the feeling will pass, as everything in this life does. Then I pick myself up again, raise my vibrations by surrounding myself with beauty and love. Then I practice persistence in my quest for peace of mind! I hope this makes sense. Of course a little glass of vino as a treat and for medicinal purposes helps too! And a dose of deep breathing and yoga.I am preparing myself for the inevitable times that I will fall apart but recognising that I can and will pick myself up and get on with life.

I wholeheartedly agree. We are only human and we need to give ourselves permission to feel and heal and have a glass of wine, the odd time. Abby
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Claire. I believe it best to let the feelings wash through, appreciate them for what they are, then pick ourselves up, as you say. Then thank God for His blessings :-)
ReplyDeleteClaire,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right..... we can't stop what happens to us but we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and have a glass of wine. I would love, love to have a glass of wine.... but because of candida.... No wine for me...at least not right now.
