Do you catch yourself wanting things to be different from how they currently are? The thoughts in your head that go along with the feelings might be something like this:
“My boss does not appreciate me. He/she should give me more______, or expect me to do less_________.” You fill in the blank.
In your relationships, the resistance may be about values of time or energy or money. “We should be saving more.” “If he/she really cared about me/us, he/she would______, or would not________.” Again, you can fill in the blank.
When we are suffering emotionally over the way things are, we are arguing with reality. I think you will agree with author of Loving What Is, Byron Katie, who says all stress is caused by arguing with what is.
This week, notice when you feel stress and make the choice to accept things just as they are just for right now because that is how they are at this moment. Take a couple of deep breaths and choose to experience less stress.
