{writer’s workshop – a difficult conversation}

March 4, 2010 by Rachel 16 Comments

This isn’t easy to say. You know, sometimes I think you’re too hard on yourself.

Truthfully, I think almost all of the time most of the time you are too hard on yourself. It’s not easy for me to tell you this, but you’ve really got to just let some things go and let them happen. As badly as you’d like to, you cannot control everything.

And you know you are a control freak.

I know you’ve been struggling lately with the whole not being able to work out thing. You seem to be really down, but don’t be! This isn’t the end of the world. You should know that. It’s simply a temporary roadblock. And your safety and health should be most important, not your outward appearance.

So just relax.

Don’t stress.

Breathe.

Let. It. GO.

Someone needs to tell you this, so it might as well be me. I’ll be the bad guy and say the things that no one else wants to say, and the things you refuse to admit.

xoxo,
Yourself

This letter to myself has been inspired by the prompt: A difficult conversation.

    I totally relate. I get a little bit crazy if I don't work out for a couple days. It's really hard to let go, but it sounds like you're taking deep breaths and getting through it.

    Girl that letter could have been addressed to me. Us type A personalities really don't handle change well especially if it's beyond our control. Hang in there. Keep resting and healing. Better to do that then be hurt forever. XOXO

    I can relate to this and know where you're coming from. I'm sorry that you're feeling out of control, but you're right: learning to relax and let go is the only way to make things easier. What is that quote? Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how your react? When you focus on what you can control things somehow seem less bothersome ๐Ÿ™‚

    You have the right attitude. Hoping you get well soon.

    I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I should write letter's to myself more, myself could use them! Keep resting and you'll be better in no time!
