So I ended up in kiltegan yesterday. After tes I was chatting a friend. We were talking about people causing hurt to us and this hurt getting to us. according to him we have to choose to not give the other person power, then tbey can't hurt us. Also if we don't expect too much from another when they fail to deliver we won't be disappointed.
My way of dealing with hurt caused by another or a stressful situation. I only came up with this idea last week. The majority of the time there are a few things going on in my head, a few things causing me stress. There was one particular issue (to avoid confusion let's call it situation a) last week that I was finding it extremely difficult to handle and I didn't want it ruining my Christmas. So I decided that should I find myself thinking about it I would turn my attention to something else (situations b). Situation b is something which has caused me a lot of sadness but I am coping better with it at the moment than I am with situation a. I can also see the progress I have made with situation b. I planned this shift of focus as I knew I wouldn't have support over tbe Christmas. Having got through the Christmas I now have tbe necessary support to deal with situation a.
Thats my new way of dealing with stress and hurt, well wortb a try.
Sharing my some of my thoughts and reflections on life and the Gospels. Sharing words or inspiration I stumble upon too. In a word full of such sadness we need to remember that there is hope, there is light.
