Does anyone else have a devil sitting on one shoulder and an angel on the other?
You know just like in the old cartoons you used to watch as a child?
One day you get tingling in your limbs due to your anxiety; the devil says
"Oh no! What if your having a stroke, what if you've got MS, or what if you have some other deadly disease???? arggghhh your doomed your definalty going to die!!!!"
Then the poor little angel sitting on your other shoulder whispers:
"On the other hand what if its just your breathing getting out of control causing those symptoms?"
How come we always go along with that nasty little devil, how come that lovely little reasonable angel is always drowned out by the devil??
I sometimes wish I could flick the little git off my shoulder!!!
Its mad how I know my thoughts are completely unreasonable and I have trained my brain into reducing the negative thoughts before but now I am struggling. Someone needs to invent a devil flicker :yesyes:
:yesyes:
