Wise Words

Not mine, I was handed this printout the other day at one of the groups I go to and I plan on keeping it in my pocket. “Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s all small stuff”. Indeed. Amazes me how I fly into panic and anxiety over the smallest blip or problem. I feel the wise part of me is so nearby, present and here all the time, but I just don’t listen. You could say that is a compulsive response. But actually it is a choice, even if its a choice based on a lifetime of habits starting with early conditioning to be reactive. I have a sense if I were given a year to live I would listen more to that wise me, the real me.
