What is the worst roller coaster ride in your life?
Divorce? a diagnosis? death of a loved one? loss of a job or security?
Whatever troubles you, you MUST embrace the ride.
Step 1- get on ride, when you are forced to face your fears, it is best to just get on with it. Go through the motions.
Step 2- safety belt. Make sure your ride is safe, Don't seek out a blindfold or anything that can make the ride easier to handle. In order to get to the end of the journey you must start at the beginning.
Step 3- when the coaster is climbing up the hill, dig your feet in to the ground, usually anticipation is far worse then the actual drop.
Step 4- Enjoy the easy parts. Let yourself smile, and feel the wind blowing in your hair. Give yourself credit for coming this far.
Step 5- When the coaster is full of twist and turns and sometimes knocking you around, just hold on. Each day you are on this coaster, the more strong you become. Remember these times, embrace them.
The Final Step- When you get off the ride, you realize it wasn't that bad. But the truth is, its devastating. It is a horrible ride, one you would never have your worse enemy go on. You now realize, the ride sucks and will never change, but we change and we get more tolerant to these quick twists and upside down feelings....
In order to heal, embrace the ride.
