The following was not written by me, I am borrowing or stealing
or whatever you may call it from another blog called "A New Name". The author of this
site is Emma Scrivener and her posts are always very very interesting and
insightful, just like the one below:
everyone thinks everyone else knows what they’re doing:
they don’t.
whatever it is - recovery, grief, housework,
rebuilding relationships - you don’t have to do it all in one go.
it’s possible you will feel completely different in a
very short time.
good or bad – you’re not who your parents or the bullies
or your exam papers or your ex says.
the bad thing you’re terrified of happening probably
won’t happen. Even if it does, you will be okay.
you are not in control. This is a good thing.
your problem is not that you’re too fat for your jeans.
Or that your house is untidy. There are issues; but they’re not
these ones. So save your energy for the real fights.
you can change – but it’ll take time and hard work.
gossip magazines are not your friends.
you’re neither fine as you are, nor
uniquely terrible. You need saving. So does everyone. (That’s
why Jesus came).
‘bad’ feelings aren’t really bad. They’re just your
feelings (shouting at you).
you’ll never need to deal with more than the next minute.
And this you can do.
nothing looks good at 3am. Sleep on it. And if you
can’t sleep, read something comfy.
happiness is not just a matter of positive thinking.
Jesus gets you, even if you don’t get you.
“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those
who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)
