I had an amazing experience at work today. I've been told by more than one elder that work is work . . . you work to earn money to then play . . . what work is fun . . .
Okay not exactly those quotes but you get the gist. . .
On the contrary, I had an amazing experience at my job today. My job is not glorious or known as a Fun Job . . . but it is rewarding beyond belief and therapeutic, no pun intended.
Today we got rid of the bad and brought in some new. We wrote down something negative that we would stop . . . while thinking of something positive to fill the void the negativity gone would leave. You must fill in the space, wether you get rid of negative or positive because you do not want more negative filling it in.
After writing down the negative that we wanted to get rid of, we threw it in the fire . . . Let me tell you . . . throwing something in the fire is very therapeutic. Watching something very near and dear, even negativity in your life, is an emotional experience and is very symbolic.
I cannot remember that exact wording of my promise to myself but it was along the lines of,
"I will not let myself manipulate things others say into something negative. I will not over-think what others say to put myself down. I will trust the words others use and will not 2nd guess them. I will never know what others are thinking, so I must trust what is being said."
Again, this was not the exact wording but this is something very important to me. And it was something very hard to burn . . . The point of the excersize is not to pick something so broad and huge that you cannot really rid of it . . . I believe I picked something bery big but I could no wrap my brain around something smaller. The only problem is that others cannot see me doing this until its already been thought of in my brain and spit out of my mouth. I am the only one accountable.
During this year, in which my resolution was "SELF CARE", this exercise is immensely connected.
