Forcing Relief

Something you’ve been wrestling with for a long time, maybe even years, can suddenly just click for you out of the blue. It churned and churned in your head, battled with your heart, and you ruminated on it day in and day out. Then, out of nowhere when you aren’t expecting it, you are hit with the peace that you sought for oh so long.

Life works on its own time. It's not something we can direct, although we try really hard to control it to make it the way we think it should be. But, really, what information, or clarity, or answers, come in time if we give time time. Give time time. Stressing and obsessing will give you a false sense of control while time passes, but is not going to bring relief any more quickly, will make us sick in the process, and may even delay the desired outcome. Staying mindful and present, living life day to day while doing our best to care for our emotional and physical wellbeing, will inevitably bring us resolution. If we keep our minds and hearts open, if we are still, it will come. The relief will come, the answers will come, the closure will come, and there will be peace.
