Drama

Remember that too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing.

If there was only pleasure, the pleasure would eventually become pain.

If there was only sunshine, we would cry out for rain.

If there was only heat, we want a reprieve.

We need the full spectrum, the full range of emotions and weather, to appreciate the happiness, the great weather, the blue skies, the tears of joy.

Believe in the cards you have been dealt, but know that if there is constant "drama" in your life, you might be choosing that over peace... what might you be hiding from? Lonliness, fear of boredom, fear of an empty nest, tiresome/tedious job, struggles with spouse/partner,...

When we create a relationship to something that keeps us reacting in a knee-jerk fashion, how do we step back and get some perspective on the situation?

Meditation.

Sit and watch your thoughts. Let your thoughts go with the breath. Watch the breath. Let go of the thoughts. Take a mini-thought/anxiety/drama vacation. Notice what that might feel like in the body. Make it a pleasurable experience. Sit comfortably. Breathe easily and steadily.

Open up to new possibilities. Maybe the possibility of eradicating the drama from your life.
