Be-ing and Doing...
So today I imagined this minds eye being able to act as the detached observer - of my thoughts, feelings etc. And as a not biased, compassionate mediator between the head and the heart. We have a saying in Recovery about when you come to truly believe and operate as a changed person is when the new perspective has"traveled the distance from the head to the heart" this compassionate detachment helps one to do so.
So I asked myself what I was working about in my head space this morning: doing taxes, website, new detox program, and (the harsh worry) my mother in law drinking herself to death. Slowly. Woke from a nightmare about that actually. I'm blessed to get along with and love my MIL, so this is not a good thing...
Anyhow taking my worries that were swirling around in the minds sphere, compassionately observing them from a distance, allowed me enough space to have insight on how my husband and I can have the tough conversation expressing our concerns and love for MIL, without threat/ultimatum/abandonment. It also allowed my to see my professional worries as if I were someone else - removing a level of overwhelm so that I could break each large task down into smaller. Before, I would get stick in overwhelm.
I also was able to ask God to show me which to tackle first, as He wants me to care for what He has entrusted me with in this life, as well as where I can be of maximum service.
I wouldn't be as clear on what it is I am too do if I didn't center first on my Being And my Higher Powers Being. Brought clarity.
Thank you Jay!
