I am not sure but when i find it i will make a poster to look at everyday.
My frustration level is off the charts and i should be able to let go ....
@toughTiger6481
Seems things have not gone well for some time that your frustration is off the charts. I hope your situation will improve soon. Do you feel talking to a listener could help right now?
This is a link to a meditation I find quite helpful to let go
Meditation to Let Go https://youtu.be/AvZB5sHZLFE
@amiablePeace77
Not a thing that can be talked out ....tried several listeners here only one worked and he left
just tired of someone in my life......... i cannot change them only myself ...... was SUPER proud of myself today that in a giant i could have screamed "told you so ".... i took the high road and let it go.
@toughTiger6481
I am very sorry to hear that you have difficulties in finding a listener and that the one you found left. Please let me know if you like to get a link for listeners accepting new chats. It helps many people to share in sharing circle a support room which is open 24/7.
Congratulations to letting to today! 👍
@amiablePeace77 patience💖
@Tinywhisper11
Patience is the key to many things! 👍
@amiablePeace77
letting it be and if I have to distance myself I will/do
@adrjust1
Sometimes distancing is required to clear the mind!
@amiablePeace7
If it is a small situation, I just tell myself that it doesn't matter and I walk away. If it is a large situation, I figure out what the worst is that can happen, and I start to look into it and make peace with that.
@purpleTree4652
Good strategies! Often the worst scenario never happens but good to be prepared!
@amiablePeace77
I guess acknowledgement of everything associated with the situation including our emotions and situations of the people involved without judgement but with empathy and compassion! And amidst all this repeatedly reminding ourselves that, eventually everything will be amazing and this too shall pass! It's for my betterment and I get to sustain hope!
Sometimes just taking action towards things that we love doing be it dancing, journaling, nature walk etc. can help to get away from down spiral
@amiablePeace77
You know Ami💙You help me a lot on days by tagging me in such forum posts! Thankyouuu pretty heart!
@resilience2025
I'm glad you find the post helpful and also agree to what you said about doing something we like such as dancing. It lets us forget for a moment what might feel like a burden and maybe after the dance the burden is much smaller! 😀
Acceptance starts with allowing yourself to feel what you feel without judgment. Then, little by little, you focus on what you can control (like your breath, a small routine, or reaching out). It’s not easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. What feels hardest to let go of right now?
@Bruche
Often, we believe we have to do it all alone but there is help, we can reach out. Good reminder!
This is me rn with my relationship and it’s finally realizing maybe he isn’t capable to be with me or he just don’t deserve my love or me as a person cause he not willing to put effort or make changes
@adrjust1
There can be many reasons but the main thing in my opinion is how we let it affect us.
@amiablePeace77
For me it helps me to talk through a situation
@Summershy
I find my talking one can often find the solution or a different perspective on one's own.
@amiablePeace77 It takes time (undeterminable amounts) and patience (which I sometimes lack) with myself
@mytwistedsoul
I hear you! Mindfulness helped me to practise patience. Please check community calendar for discussions on patience in the 50+ community or mindfulness community if interested.
@amiablePeace77 Thank you :) I'll have to check them out
