Even while healing, there are and will be somedays when potentially everything will appear to go wrong. Emotions and situations connect to create what I might label an “insignificant day”. It may be that on those days I am experiencing stress by strain, and learning to relax with the divine flow of life and letting go of specific outcomes will suppress any difficulties. I may somehow have adopted once again in old survivor thought and behavioral habits which demand that I attempt to take control. Controlling was the natural reaction to the traumatic loss of safety I felt during my abuse, and it rapidly became instrumental in my lifestyle. I understand now at one point; it was necessary to revert back to this familiar reality in order to feel safe. Meanwhile, relaxing and letting go will probably seem like I am not protecting myself and it may also seem completely foreign and unsafe. To relax and let go means that I’ll have to rely upon or seek trust outside of myself; Know through a trust that I’ll be taken care of; That I’ll be safe. This new reality will begin to adhere as patience of practice in abundance. I can start by letting go of small instances whenever I receive mail today or how long it would take to reach a particular destination. I can eventually move on to more difficult situations like letting go of something that can be replaced, the outcome of an interview, a relationship that has run its course, or how some plans may turn out.
