Stored Anger

Today I am willing to take responsibility for the anger that I carry within me. I am not a bad person because I fell angry. No one wants to think of themselves as an angry person and I am no exception. But when I refuse to acknowledge the anger and resentment that I have stored within me, I turn my back on me and refuse to accept a very important part of myself and I ask the people close to me to hold my feelings for me, to be the containers of my unconscious or the feelings inside of myself that I do not wish to see. Because I deny my anger to myself does not mean that It goes away. Today I am wiling to consider that there might be something more to it, that I may be carrying feelings of anger that I need to accept.

I am willing to experience my own anger.
Let us take men as they are, not as they ought to be.

Detaching with love

Today I understand why detaching with love has been difficult for me. It has taken me a long time to understand truly that there are some things I can do absolutely nothing about. My past taught me to remain in the cycle of fixing and doing. It seemed less painful to be stuck in trying than to let go and risk the pain of loneliness. What I did not know was that I letting go I would feel enormous relief and renewed sense of energy with which to rebuild those areas of my life that needed attention. Detaching with love is not difficult when I accept my own limitations.

There are some people, things, and situations that I can do nothing about.

Keeping Love

Today I understand that I have a heart. In my heart there is a place for love. Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else does.

Growth

Today I let go and become real I know that by holding on too tightly I squeeze the life out of myself and those around me. Recovery has taught me to value being authentic about being something or someone. Recovery is a process of facing and removing those obstacles that have been in the way on my own road back to myself. It has been my willingness to risk and trust that my higher power will hold me that has brought me to life again. Now it is time for me to live each day as it comes and give some of what I have received. So many people have helped me along the way; it is also part of my recovery to share what I have learned in case it might help someone else.

What Life Brings

I am open to life and all it holds.
To remain whole, be twisted!
To become straight, let yourself be bent.
To become full, be hollow.
Be tattered, that you may be renewed.

Projection

Today I understand that when I project my feelings outward and see them as belonging to other people and not to me, I postpone my own self-awareness. The only way I can dela with difficult feelings is first to claim them as my own. Sitting with anxiety, anger, rage, and jealousy is not pleasant, but actually experiencing my own feelings is the only way to get through them.

I own my feelings and am willing to experience them.

New Ways Of Being


There will be times when I do not feel up to things. When there seems to be too big a gap between who I think I am and who I want to be. I believe in being true to myself and basically honest. When I first try something new it may feel as if I am trying on an article of clothing that doesn’t quite suit me. But there is nothing wrong with acting “as if.” I may need to practice new behaviors in order to become comfortable with them. Sometimes when I allow myself to act “as if,” the old me sort of falls away and gives room to something new. Children do this all the time, trying on different roles and playing with them. There is no reason to commit myself to a limited view of who I am. I can be who I want to be.

I can practice new ways of being.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream

Seeing A Situation Differently

Today I will attempt to see anything I am involved with from more than one perspective. If I feel myself getting stuck in the way I see things, I will say to myself, “ I wish to see this differently,” and know that my sincere desire will result in a shift of awareness. There is really no one right way to see anything. To allow my point of view to shift will not only produce insight and relief for a particular circumstance but it will give me practice in letting my mine move freely and independently. I will allow myself the luxury of relaxing my rigid point of view and letting new light and fresh awareness come into my inner sight. I believe that it is possible to see things in a variety of ways.

I sincerely wish to see this in a different light.

This can not hid the light I wish to see.
We stand in light.
In the light this will look different.
