2.20.18 Grappling Hooks



We often grapple with truths in our lives, that are difficult to accept. 
And so, we tend to go round and round with them , in our minds,
 messing up our health as we tumble and spin. 

What we eventually realize is that we have the option to simply say to ourselves ‘Yes.’
Yes, that is happening, and then feel the tough feeling of this truth. 

Let the sadness or hurt or shock or pain or sadness or anger BE, right here and right now.
No matter how searing or desperately hard. 

What we learn is that if we just take some moments and BE with the emotions, the realizations, it will each time sink in a bit more. Become real to us on a deep emotional and cognitive and visceral level.
And in this way, we are no longer subjected to shock or the sense of surprise, each time we turn and find this to be true, once again. 

Instead, it becomes KNOWN. Deep down within us.

And we can take that in, each time.
We can allow it to settle.
We can recover the injury.
And then move on with our present life.
