    Hi Poppyxo,

    I don’t mind being human if it weren’t for being, well, human! Emotions (to me) just ARE. You set your intention for the day and go through your routines, and if any residual feelings linger when you’re at home, yes, sit with them. (Or not. This is why people binge on Netflix, I suspect!) Or just be all, “It is what it is”. Of course, if it’s all negative emotion all of the time, then that is a signal that something is wrong. But if it’s more like someone looks at you funny that day, you need to feel the emotion of that encounter if only to shake it off like a duck does after a skirmish.

    Best,

    Inky

    Hi Inky,
    Yes, to be honest, the more I think of it the more I realise I need to allow more time or make a change.
    I think I am hoping that because I have recognised the situation, the emotions and feelings should therefore disappear. I don’t think my acceptance is actually full acceptance. I guess I don’t like recognising and sitting with it as opposed too before when I’d ignore it, I know in the longer run being aware of my emotions is better for me, just out of the ordinary!

    Dear Popyxo:

    You wrote above: “I think I am hoping that because I have recognized the situation, the emotions and feelings should therefore disappear”- I had the same expectation and sometimes I find myself expecting this yet again. The reason it doesn’t happen is that our emotions are tied to multiple neuropathways of thoughts and core beliefs. When we have a recognition of a situation, a realization, an insight, it is only one neuropathway. The many other neuropathways still operate with the old emotions in them.

    This is why it takes excruciating patience with the long, long , non-linear, gradual, slow process of change, healing.

    Hi Anita,
    Thank you for that – it helps to know that I am not the only one and that my thinking and feeling isn’t flawed and that I’m just expecting a little too much from myself and should be kinder and more loving in my healing, new process. :- )

    You are welcome, Poppyxo. Your thinking is not flawed, it only takes so much more time than we would like…
