Hmm….skills or lessons I have learned recently? I would say that I have learned how to let go without going through what I usually do. Letting go is something I don’t do well because it is tied in with changes. I absolutely hate anything new that I would have to get used to and to deal with. However, I am learning to let go of situations and not do the “the end of the world” theatrics! I mope for days on end when letting go but these days, it is getting easier. Not immediately, mind you, but in a shorter period of time and when I do, I don’t go back and try to sift through it. I let it lie.
I am also learning that not everything bad that comes your way is really bad. Sometimes it is for the better. Does that make sense? It does to me. Let’s say a relationship goes bust and my first instinct is to get sad. However, I am learning that sometimes that relationship was not worth anything to begin with. It was better off biting the dust! I take the lessons I’ve learned from it and put it to good use so that I benefit from it, the next time around. That’s something new.
I also try to look at the positives. This one is not that easy because we usually tend to look at what is lacking or rather we are pros at it. I’m turning it around. I look at the positives first and the negatives don’t seem to matter anymore. I rattle off five positives first which is easy to do and after that, it doesn’t seem like I’m lacking much at all!
Those are the things that I’ve learned recently and I feel like I’m on the right track. Keeping on it takes focus because falling to the wayside is easy to do.
