Ok Alex ... just don't get yourself so upset about it all ...
You now just as sometimes people don't understand what you mean or where you're coming from, the same in reverse happens ... sometimes you don't understand what they mean or where they're coming from because you take their worlds literally when it was meant metaphorically or as a joke ...
That is why we have to accept one another just as we ALL are, you included AND when there is a misunderstanding sometimes it better to just DROP IT, LET IT GO and move onto something that is more pleasant ...
You can use a visualisation to help you if you want ... For instance
- think about something someone has said that is bothering you because you are finding it difficult to just let go or because you can't agree
- now write it on a piece of paper using your own words and in your own way OR write it on the computer then print it
- now tear up the piece of papers into little bits or screw up the page so no one can read it
- imagine a steam boat - you can make as mall or large as you want as simple or elaborate as you want
- imagine yourself safely getting on the boat and exploring the steam boat with the bits or ball of paper in your hand
- imagine that now you come accross the boiler where the steam is generated from, you stand a short while looking at it
- imagine yourself walking towards the boiler till you are near enough to touch it if you extend your arm
- now imagine yourself extending your arm and dropping the pieces or ball of paper amongst the burning coals, careful not to burn yourself!!
- now imagine watching the bits/ball of paper turning into flames and burning into ashes, then watch the smoke rise
- whatever was on your mind has now evaporated into steam going up into the sky and the clouds, no longer your concern
- now imagine retracing your steps and safely getting off the boat and back to your home, computer chair etc ...
- you feel so much lighter and happier!!!
Alex hope you try the visualisation and it helps
