    Hi Meg,

    That was one big run-on sentence, wow! LOL

    OK, two things I picked up that it SEEMED like you were mentioning in passing, but are actually very important. One is you work with your beloved almost every day. And the other is that you were intimate. Those two things don’t mix!! If you work with someone, don’t get involved. And if you were involved with someone (even as a one time thing) don’t work together!

    What I would do is “Hide” her on social media and work away from her if possible.

    And emotions are great, by the way! They are one of your many Guidance Systems. If your emotions were turned off, you wouldn’t know what excites you, what is bad news, or any of that. Obviously don’t be carried away by them, but it’s important to notice them, absolutely.

    As for the music, try to do both by doing it AND having a regular job. I’m nervous myself in having my art totally support me. But I still create it. Selling it isn’t even the point. Just get your stuff out there!

    Blessings,

    Inky

    Dear meg:

    Letting your distressing thoughts and emotions go on and on and on is like going on and on and on with a sentence. I used to operate that way. Then I learned to place periods in between the thoughts and emotions. Here is a distressing thought and before I know it it escalates anther thought joins it as i try to analyze the first thought and figure it out i am already in distress and i think of something to eat so to feel better and wow stop right here. There it is, the period. A break. Ah, another break. Better.

    Got to take those breaks with nothing in them. No thinking, no feeling, breathe. You get nowhere good and fast by not taking a break. Good thinking can happen when calm, not when distressed.

    Would you like to re-write your post with breaks, as an exercise to benefit you? Start the re-writing and you can let go of the original post as you do, new things come to awareness and there it is, a new post with more clarity…?

    You can’t “master” your emotions. Because if there is a master who is mastering your emotion, then who masters the master? And who masters the masters master? 🙂

    The best thing you can do is being present with your emotions. Watch them, don’t judge or label them. There are no good or bad emotions. If you perceive them as either good or bad you are not present with them. You are getting lost in the stories about your emotions.

    * Dear vizual: I would like to try and answer your (to me) brilliant question: who is the master? The master is the one not wanting to be inconvenienced with unpleasant emotions. It is the one who says: Don’t bother me with this or that. Just stop crying, stop whining, stop being such a … and be nice! Put a smile on your face and don’t bother me again!

    Who is that “master” – a rejecting parent, internalized, I say.
