The past few years have had changes that are beyond my control.

For years past, I had the theory of “take my marbles and go home.”

Like what someone does at a bank when they can’t get what they want and move their money.

There are reasons people move from place to place, that is of their own accord and reason.

But what if your mind is overreacting because it is something that is miniscule?

Or that it must be done a different way?

Is it “not getting what you want” or being “resistant to change”?

Many times, for me, it is the latter.

When something doesn’t happen the way that I think it should or be the way it should be, I want to run away from it or demand things.

But the world doesn’t act that way.

In most cases, I am not granted the authority to have a voice or decide about things that are sometimes so miniscule in nature or may be new to me or have a new way to do them.

As someone said, change is evident in life, and sometimes is a necessary thing.

But it is not the reason to run away or act on the instant feelings of my anxiety.

My feelings are my feelings, I cannot change. But what I can change is how I do not overreact to my feelings.

It is radical acceptance that has gotten me thus far, and being better with myself and working the role that my challenges play in my life will get me to bigger and better.

But today, we will just breathe and enjoy the day.
