Had the series of events that I briefly described in part 1 happened just two years ago, I could have felt depressed for several days. And I still think that I could have handled the situation even better.
What I did right was that I let the situation go. I accepted that this was how I was feeling at the moment. And I allowed myself the luxury of breaking my positive habits temporarily and indulge in some things to comfort me. I allowed myself to feel anger, sadness and even hopelessness for a while.
I was also better than before at observing what was happening inside of me. And this time it was more clear than ever, how something inside of me wanted to hold on to the pain. To feel offended and victimized. To make the whole situation wrong.
But when I was ready to let the emotions go, I did so. I could even, while still feeling pain, enjoy allowing myself to do things that I know are bad for me, but that I nonetheless derive pleasure from. The next time the hassles become too much, this is what I will go to immediately, but bring even more consciousness and intention into it. I’ll just accept falling as a, for the most part, unavoidable part of life, and make the best of it. And then, when I’m ready, I’ll just get up and put one foot in front of the other with my eyes firmly fixed on my goals.
