Embracing Your Experiences


Listen Later

Don't hate the things that happened to you. I get it.  Trauma, tragedy are painful and heartbreaking. The pain from it does not disappear.  But let me make a suggestion.

Anything that doesn't end your life, gets to fuel your life. If you have someone who you loved that is no longer in your life because of a death or tragedy, this means you get to think of ways they made your life better and you get to honor them. Does this mean it's less painful? Probably not. My dad died 30 plus years ago and I still get angry that he's not here to give me advice, talk to me about books or give me advice about men.

I adopted my daughter. However, I spent most of my adult life like 30 plus years thinking I would someday have this wonderful experience as a pregnant woman. I wanted that. I didn't get that. I can be disappointed that it didn't happen while I am also extremely grateful that I adopted my daughter.

You probably have tragedy and sadness that you may be angry about and disappointed that it happened.

I'm not saying it's wrong to be sad or disappointed that these things have happened. Feel your feelings, don't be a robot. Be a real person.

Action: Can you consider being a person who learns to appreciate things that have happened to you, because it is healthier than walking around overtaken by sadness and regret. I want us to exercise our courage muscles and get into this.

Let's start the meeting.

And, thank you for listening.
