I've made an important revisit to a healthy thought pattern.
"Just let it happen."
I used to live by these words when I was younger, recognizing that if I stop trying to control all that happens around me, if I trust my gut, and if I let the world take me where I need to go, then the right things will happen.
I had really lost sight of those words for the past few years of my life, feeling incredible anxiety when things didn't go the way I had expected or wanted, or with always feeling like I should be doing something other than I actually am - I should have gone here instead of there, I should be with these people instead of the other ones.
However, I remembered this at Burning Man last year as things unfolded naturally and I learned some of the exact things I needed to learn about self love and immediacy. I needed these things and I let them come to me.
I uttered the phrase "Things will happen as they need to" to myself over and over. (It's like "Things happen for a reason", but my own version.)
Although I had had this realization I didn't fully embody it and still caused myself excessive anxiety over non-control of situations.
It's only been very recently due to some interesting events that I've realized how important it is that I embody this thought pattern.
When I ALLOW things to happen rather than trying to MAKE them happen, or when I trust that events and emotions, be them happy or sad, need to be happening, then I get what I need. Things come about exactly as they should and I end up transitioning and gaining and learning from the experience, rather than constantly resisting.
SO. basically. Just let it happen. It's a bit easier that way
