Good Morning to everyone. I am beginning to learn that I am responsible for all of the ways in which I feel. Due to my reactions to events, symptoms, things said, etc..., my thoughts create my anxiety and my pain. My thoughts can and have kept me in a state of powerlessness.
So since I am ultimately in charge here, in control of my own life, what will happen if I take control for the better? Can I choose to have my reactions and my thoughts create joy for myself instead of anxiety? I believe that I can do this, and that is more than half of the battle.
This doesn't mean that I blame myself or be tough on myself for my past mistakes in dealing with my anxiety. This means that I be kind to myself and recognize that I have done the best that I could at any particular time, given the place I was at and given the person that I was at that point in time.
It does stand to reason though that I can't blame outside sources or outside events. I need to take responsibility for myself. If my thoughts can be changed, I can feel joy today. I, for one, am going to work very hard atnthis today.
