I need a new mantra....

[LynzM]

It goes something like this:

"I cannot fix everybody. Their problems and stress should not become mine unless I want that.
I cannot fix everybody. Their problems and stress should not become mine unless I want that.
I cannot fix everybody. Their problems and stress should not become mine unless I want that.
I cannot fix everybody. Their problems and stress should not become mine unless I want that.
I cannot fix everybody. Their problems and stress should not become mine unless I want that.
I cannot fix everybody. Their problems and stress should not become mine unless I want that.
I cannot fix everybody. Their problems and stress should not become mine unless I want that."

2. That is a good mantra.

Unfortunately, you have a generous spirit and a desire to be helpful to those in pain. So, you're going to have to fight your nature a bit. That mantra is a really good start.

Best wishes. :hug:

4. Indeed.

Helping is what I (want to) do... lately, it feels like I'm not very good at it. Thanks for the hugs... :hug:

3. O.K. I made a bad joke, but on a more serious note

from the words you wrote it sounds like you are a lot like me, a natural healer. You yearn to heal others and feel a bit disappointed in yourself when you fail.

Warmth
Warmth
flows from me to you
Peace
Peace
flows from me to you

May your days of healing be matched by your inner strength.

Peace,
Scuba

5. Thanks, scuba...

Your other one made me smile, so it's not in vain...

Some days, I really doubt I have the strength. I appreciate your kind words.

7. I am glad you understood how what my message was about.

Sometimes in the least likely places one finds sanctuary. Laughter can be sanctuary. It in seems like this time of year is rough on a lot of folks.

May the mountain in front of you be the one you want to climb,
and when you peer over it's peak may you glimpse heaven.

They must find that ability within themselves."

JennaLaw says hello and sends you a :hug:!

We're warm and happy down here in North Caroline right now. I haven't been in the hot tub yet. I was asleep when she and her mom tested it out. But I'll be in it tonight. I really wish you could be here to join us! You would love this place.

10. I know how you feel sweetie

I'm an INFJ - the healer. Doesn't get any more complicated than that. We're responsible for the world, we take on everyone else's troubles and kick ourselves when we can't fix a situation or person.

It's hard to change how you're hard-wired, but you've gotten some good suggestions.

:hug:

Know you're loved. :)
