Life is full of surprises.
Some of them are wonderful and some not so much. When unexpected, unwelcome events occur or
people don’t respond the way I expect; it is disappointing, disheartening, and
very frustrating. It can be challenging
to communicate assertively and difficult to remain openhearted when you want to
strike back, run away or throw the towel in.

UNEXPECTED EVENTS
Today, I will remain grounded and centered no matter what I encounter. I will trust that I have the resources I need
to face this day. Should unwanted events
happen, I will remind myself that I am not alone and can ask for help and
comfort from those I trust. I will
express my feelings and thoughts honestly.
I will set boundaries to protect myself if they are needed. Although I may feel like a victim, I am capable
of taking the action I need to take. I
will remind myself that the most painful and frustrating moments in my life
usually have resulted in the greatest growth and change when I have remained
receptive to being me. Today I choose to
be me.

A timely blog that targets my exact spot in life. To remember your wordes, "I will remind myself that the most painful and frustrating moments in my life usually have resulted in the greatest growth and change when I have remained receptive to being me." will hopefully encourage me to stay strong, grounded, and focus the anger appropriately instead of absorbing into and onto myself.

I find it exceptionally difficult to ask for help and near impossible to seek comfort. I will remind myself that in times of stress, whether distress or eustress, I need to remember the surprises are part of life and it is up to me to set the appropriate boundaries, seek out my groundedness, and speak my needs rather than assuming or hoping those around me will be mind readers.
