Today, I will let myself have my feelings while I practice patience

The Language of Letting Go

Ironic, this affirmation is (in the words of Yoda – and my current inner voice). I was having a conversation yesterday with speck of dust about outlook, thinking positive and letting go of emotion. His argument was that you shouldn’t fuel the fire of negativity. My viewpoint is that I believe in being patient and letting feelings evolve and pass naturally. My firm belief is that if you don’t put the fire out at the source, you’re always going to have to put it out, as it will continue to burn. Get to the source of the issue and address that. This is the problem I have with the terms “let it go”, “change your thinking”, “think positive” etc. etc. etc.

Personally, I prefer to just feel my emotions, until the fire dwindles and eventually goes out.
