Foolish ways

One negative thing happens and I will get all entangled in it. I become physically and emotionally wrapped up in it and get overwhelmed by the inner pain I create. It just grows! I lose my direction, my joy, and self value. I just get stuck in it. Very destructive! Very hard to overcome. Read about using what you learned from it to help you get out. Felt hurt yesterday about my design efforts as we are redecorating rooms in our house. My husband was joking but it was very discouraging. I learned however that since I am an artist I do things artistically. That nice looking arrangements actually matter to me. Artistry is an important part of who I am. That is why my husband's kind of teasing caused pain. It wasn't a big thing for him but it was for me. I did end up sharing that with him and he understood it . Now to recover from the effects of my foolish ways of hurting myself inside when I am pained.

I think you did really well being able to talk to him about what happens with his teasing ; especially when it can be so hard dealing with all the emotions going on

I want to stop reacting to things and find a way to choose peace .
