personal power

Posted on 05/16/08, 08:31 pm

I have so much power, and I never knew it until right now. My H can say things, and I don't even care anymore. I really love him, but if he is being negative, I really could care less, and I walk away. My kids get mad at me, and say, I don't like you Mom. I know they LOVE me, and they are just upset for the moment, and that is how I feel about my H now. I think he wants to get me stirred up sometimes, and I don't even go there anymore, because I don't want to. POWER ROCKS!!!! I think for so long I let my H have my power, and now that i have taken it back, he is more into me. I have also found that the more I get into myself, the less i think about my H. I know we all need that, because our time has been consumed with our other half, for far too long. Find your power, and use it! You are someone special, and you no longer need to be there for anyone beside you, and your kids, if you have them.So how are you going to use your power, what can you do to make sure you are living for you?

  I just told a friend today that I feel incredibly powerful. And not in the sick sense of the word, but, truly powerful. I am in control of my response...I don't have to feed my emotions. If I'm upset, I'm upset. I'm not taking it out on anyone or anything; that's powerful. If I feel like I'm going to lose it, I walk away and I tell myself how powerful I am. Thanks for the reminder. I'm glad to hear you've tapped into it.

  I started to read Psalm 91. It's been years since I read anything in the bible, except at church. It helped me get through an anxiety attack yesterday, and again this morning.
  
  Interestingly, I came across Proverbs 5:3 while just flipping through the pages, which talks about the adulteress, the words jumped off the page! I think the author PERSONALLY KNEW the OW!!
  
  I have yet to gain my power, but I know I am on my way. I have been doing a lot of reading about therapy that teaches you how to change the way your mind reacts to outside things. I know my mind has the power to change my thoughts and reactions, I'm going to be a student of this until I have conquered!
  
  Thanks!!
