As a crisis counselor, here is something amazing I like to share...

So I haven’t been posting lately, because I’ve been having a very interesting month. Besides the drama that’s going on now with moderation and a you know who... I wanted to share something. Hopefully this will motivate someone to think on the positive.

So what I have learned (during training) is about control. When we loose control we tend to exasperate the negativity and ruminate on what has not happened. Thus in order to mentality prepare, we have to concentrate on what we can control. We can’t control a virus but we can control our actions...

In essence control what you can and don’t worry about what you can’t control. I hope that helps... ^.^

Exactly so :)

Or as they say in the AA:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

I actually had someone that was AA, Asked me a question, and I’ll just repeat what I said, "as much as I want to help you, and believe me I want to, I don’t have the answer to your question. I could give you my opinion, but ultimately it’s an opinion and you called for a reason... all I can do is listen."

The individual said, "that’s really all I needed, was for someone to listen..."
