*****LOVE THIS.....giving up hatred and resentments was my hardest thing...offeder, I still loathe the memory, but I keep giving up any hate and resentments towards the monster.....the only way I see to be free of my worries is self talk, prayer, pausing, readhing out, surrender, self care.....and YES!!!! KEEP life SIMPLE......I love to give, AFTER I meet my needs....and my expectations have dropped down a LOT

****ANOTHER great one....re: my neighbors up the street who turned on me AGAIN..(he is alcoholic, she is passive aggressive) anyway, I just lift them in prayer and STAY way...one hurt is a mistake...2 hurts are a pattern...on hurt #2, I walked away...I don't hate them, I truly wish the best for them, but I am commited to detoxing my life....and EASY does it on me as I try to do cognitive behavior therapy...instead of forcing mindfulness on me ALL day , I am doing several mini exercises on it each day....I suspsect that I have ADHD....yea, just add it to my other disorders....HP can help me manage them....and my issue is, because of the racing mind, i DONT think before I move my hands...Now I am narrating what I do through the day as far as my hands are...like "what are you doing??? where are you putting your xxxx??? and just FEELING my hands...hoping that will help me with this inability to focus and pay attention and to slow down
