I know these aren’t real words, but so much of my vocabulary that I use is created in my head, this spoke to me.
When I was younger I really felt that once you became an adult you had the world worked out, the pathways would open like some sort of ‘open sesame’ then on you plodded. Well either I wasn’t listening when they were handing out maps (highly likely) or the routes of life are more unknown than I had thought.
Problems, often cascade from no where. They arrive on my doorstep in envelopes of large bills that I wasn’t expecting, a car can collide into my rear and phone calls and more letters are required. The health of loved ones can be shared in a text or conversation and then hospital visits and worry ensues… or you can breath.
I know, breathing doesn’t actually pay the bill or fix a car, but it does allow your brain to process the issue from a grounded place rather than in a state of emotional turmoil.
Often when I’m faced with an issue that I can’t figure out how to solve, changing the activity I’m doing or distracting my brain with something I enjoy often means I come to a conclusion far quicker.
It sounds crazy, I realise to say ‘don’t think about the problem you can’t stop thinking about’ but honesty it works. My dear friend couldn’t conceive, her partner and her stopped trying whilst they saved for IVF…with the pressure removed she conceived and gave birth to a health bundle of new born.
When you ‘let go’ of tension magic happens; money flows from places you didn’t know existed, friends help out in ways you didn’t know they could…issues that you just couldn’t work out become figureoutable.
It’s not exactly a map to adulthood, but it is a magical step on a smoother pathway. Enjoy the journey and remember all problems are generally solved eventually, if you lack confidence then give this a read because You can, end of story
🙂 indeed it is – good to put things into perspective

Oh yes sometimes the best way to figure it out is to just let it go. To recognise that we can’t control, solve or mend everything is true mental strength and something that I have certainly had to learn (I still am!) Thanks for the reminder xx #thesatsesh

I agree sometimes not focusing on the problem and doing distraction can help come to a solution quiker then just dwelling. I like the word. Let’s face it all words were created by someone lol X #thesatsesh

It is so true. When I have a problem that I can figure out, I sleep on it, I have a glass of wine, I read a book for a bit, I go for a run. you just have to distract yourself for a bit and let your mind wander onto onto something else. Pen x #thesatsesh

good advice if you can do it. My Hubby always tells me it will work itself out , and generally, it does, in the mean time , he’s merrily getting on and I’m sleeplessly worrying my bedsocks off ! #thesatsesh

Love that phrase – “When you ‘let go’ of tension magic happens”. Loved the story about your friend – similarly for us with the eldest :-). Great post as ever honey xxx #thesatsesh
