Caught Up in a Loop

Sometimes I find myself caught up in a loop in my mind about people, places and things in my life I have no control over. This mental obsession of digging for reasons, purpose, or trying to solve imagined problems is exhausting.

I try to think about possibilities that make me happy – but the need to perseverate on a fixated stressor can be overwhelming. It feels like I’m constantly trying to solve a potential threat to my well-being.

Sometimes, I feel like I don’t even know how to operate in the world out there. Too sensitive for my own good. Too fearful for my own good.

Eventually, I find my way back to feeling myself again.

At 52 years of age, and post-menopausal – I acknowledge that hormones increase my sensitivities as I seem to cycle through times when I feel more emotionally raw.

Let It Go….

When I’m perseverating, I feel like this is my life now – can’t see past it. When I start to come through the other side, and let go of it – I realize how pointless it is – because I can’t control anything beyond myself.

I start to feel free.

I relate to these lyrics in the well-known song Let It Go, from Disney’s movie Frozen:

The fears that once controlled me
can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free!
Let it go...
Let it go...
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go...
Let it go...

I like this sing-a-long version of “Let It Go”, as the words to this song are empowering on many different life lessons!

One With the Wind and Sky

Just for today, let it go! Be free! Be one with the wind and sky!
