Mindful You, Mindful Me

Alma asked that I load up this passage from this book.

Mindful you, Mindful me

Rules to live by:

Let Go

Learn to let go of dead relationships. Some one leaving you isn’t the same as experiencing a death. I wish people would quit saying,

“I feel like someone died,” after a

divorce or breakup. The two pains are

nothing alike.

When someone say that, then I know

they’ve never suffered the loss of a

loved one through death. Death leaves

behind a pain that never fully heals.

Time lessen it but doesn’t do away with

it. One can get over a divorce or break

up if they simply accept that the

relationship is over and let go.

2. Don’t listen to people who put you

down. Ignore them. Live a life that

empowers you, not hinder you. Life is

too short to be constantly engulfed in

malarkey.

3. It’s said, “Give it time. Time heals

everything.” I say, “Time heals

some things. Not everything. It make

some things easier to live with and

others it do not, and it’s okay if the pain

of the loss of a loved one is still there years later.

4. Don’t compare yourself to others.

You don’t know if their life is really as

grand as it seems. The only person you

should compare yourself with is the

person you were yesterday, yesteryear.

5. Stress is the major trigger of many

illnesses. Therefore, don’t worry when

things aren’t going as they should. If

they aren’t life threatening don’t sweat

them. Stay calm for your health’s sake.

It’s okay not to have everything figured

out. Know that in your progressive

time, not someone else’s progress

measure, that you’ll have it all figured out in due time, Believe me–you will.

6. Only you can make you happy.

Never leave the charge of your

happiness in some else’s hand.

7. Smile more often. Life is too short not to.
