This is what I know for sure. I am one of those people that lives by the 'it is what it is' philosophy. I don't get too caught up in whatever emotion is tied to a situation that I can't do anything about. If this situation can't change, why cry about it, or get mad about it, or brood over it? It is what it is.
But, after a week with just 5 minutes a day to just sit and breathe and check back in with myself......I'm sad. Is it anyone's fault? No. Can anyone really fix it? Nope. Is anything going to change? Not at all.
I could change my perspective. I could find the blessings in my life. I could realize that it could be a lot worse. I could. But today, I've decided I'm just going to be sad. And I'm gonna just sit with that for more than a minute. And see what happens.
When we surrender to the feeling, most times it dissipates. Good for you for being in the moment!
