Today I’m going to write about emotional help. One of my very best friends is helping me with some unexpected issues I have encountered (not health-related). I have been very stressed out about it. She told me this: Give the problem two hours of your time for that day, if there are things that you need to do to help solve the problem. After that, let it go and don’t think of it again.
What a profound statement. Kristine is battling a deadly disease right now, and her outlook on life is amazing. I have to reflect about what is important in life, and what may not be pleasant, but is not the end of the world. You need to do what you can with a situation, but not let it take over your existence. This can be with anything you have going on. If it consumes you, then you let the problem win.
I am not saying that no action should be taken on a problem. Of course it should. As much as needed and possible. But sometimes we are limited, or there is another plan in action we are unaware of. You take the action, mentally, physically, and emotionally, you need to take, and that is all you can do.
Sometimes it can be easier said than done to let a problem go, but I do believe from the standpoints of how it affects the health of our body and also how it affects the power of the universe, it is something we should strive to do. It’s not easy. It’s an effort. But it can be liberating when it is possible to embrace it.
