Let it be.

I cannot be the only person who has a difficult time with this concept. I'm telling you, for me, it is oh so difficult. I'm not the "let it be" type by nature. I tend to be the "beat it until it's dead and you are 100% sure that it won't come back to life, are you sure it's not still moving? I should put the bat down now? Are you sure?!?" type of girl. Taking the zen approach to a problem and letting it mellow while giving myself, and potentially the person I'm having a conflict with, time to think isn't my strong suit. In all honesty I think that's my plan. Then I let anxiety take over and I feel like I have to do something. NOW. right now. and you know what? 10 out of 10 times I will make that situation worse. I will run my big mouth and I will make the other person angrier. I will confuse myself more. 

Let.it.be. Stacey, Let. it. be. There will be an answer. Let it be. Sometimes a hands off approach is a better way of dealing with things. It's not about being non-confrontational. It's about choosing to be at peace with a situation, choosing to let your heart be filled with calm and light as opposed to anxiety and conflict.

and when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines for me, shine on til tomorrow. Let it be.

 This continues to be a recurring issue difficulty for me. I'm going to be proactively decide to let it be (which seems a bit ironic). I'm going to focus on taking care of me mentally and physically. The rest will come. There will be an answer.
