Don’t try to control the weather
Think how frustrating it would be if you tried to control the weather. A much better strategy is to just deal with whatever Mother Nature brings.
This is also a good way to think about dealing with our emotions. Just deal with what the weather brings.
There are valid times to experience each and every emotion. We often fall into the trap of thinking that it is not okay to have “negative” emotions. No, there is a time and a place for them.
A friend of mine recently lost a dear friend and so she’s experiencing a lot of emotions. My recommendation to her was this: go live your life and then when the emotional weather roles in, deal with it. Then get back to living your life. Don’t put your life on hold waiting for the weather that might or might not come. Rather take a break when you need to.
Much Love,
