Am I thinking about the future? Am I wallowing in the past?
I definitely keep a watchful awareness when I start using words like "always" or "never".
Today I'm experiencing a lot of physical pain. When I get invested in that pain....making judgments (it's not fair) or predicting the future (I'll always have this), I'm not really helping myself.
I know that this will pass; if I think how horrible it is....it will be horrible! If I am somewhat unattached and see that for right now, this is what it is, BUT realizing this is transient....
I also know that when I start down that road of self pity or negativity I'm not only not helping myself or the situation, I'm actually making it worse!
Right now I'm ok. Today will come and go; I can choose to care for my body instead of hate it. I'll take it easy, do what is necessary, and be glad I can get to where I need to go.
It's ok for me to feel annoyed or frustrated. I don't need to do anything more with it than simply acknowledge it and continue on about my day.
