When the need to be in control takes over us

What do we do when the need to be in control takes over our life experience?

People keep telling me: calm down … let go … but it’s not always possible at all

Yesterday an amazing woman came to me for treatment, a mother of 4 children.
She even received the treatment as a gift voucher from friends, when she was still pregnant … but from there, she did not find time to come  For treatment during pregnancy and this week she sent me a message that she wants to exercise her right to come and relax.

To be a mother is to constantly put yourself as a last priority and take care of the needs of others.

I just owe this time to myself

She came like out of a storm …
With all the mess of the corona, alone with 4 kids in the house, there are frames … no frames … mess

After the treatment, where she finally had a chance to really let go and relax … an interesting conversation developed between us about the difficulty of giving up control and how much it burdens our life experience.

You know, she tells me, I realized that most of the time I have a kind of anticipation in my head about how to spend the afternoon with the kids
It’s supposed to be conducted or how the evening is supposed to be, how my house is supposed to be tidy and then …. this in itself produces stress for me and especially, when things do not happen the way I wanted or while I wanted … I accumulate a lot of frustration and stress.
And what’s amazing is that it’s all in my head!
It’s me who puts me under pressure , I’m not doing this to me …
This need that I have to be in control, as if everything is my responsibility … and then there are people who come to me and tell me
Just relax … just let go … what do they not understand ?!
But now, in the water … I felt I could really let go, I felt supported.

Take it all in stride, it's me who'm producing the stress a lot of times

She talks and I listen to her fascinated!
I’m sure there are a lot of women who will identify with this experience … the sun is setting and you are on operational alert …
You have a schedule on your mind for dinner, showers, a story … sleep

How beautifully she describes things, the everyday situations and situations that if we stop for a moment and get out of the automaton, we can choose differently.
The world will not stop if the shower is delayed a bit … the laundry can wait … everything is fine!

Indeed, everyone will be much more pleasant and happy at heart, when you are the mother of the house, be calm and happy.

What to say and what to say, I was moved by this woman, she sent me a very important message.
Came to remind me, because it’s all reflections ….

That afternoon, my daughter wanted to show me a dance she had learned.
With the words of the woman I had still echoing in my heart, I turned my full attention and rejoiced at this moment.
Instead of looking at her and thinking what else do I need to tick at home …
I looked at her and felt my heart fill with gratitude and joy.

If you have read this far and something moves in your heart, it means that your soul seeks to reach the living water
Asks you to cleanse yourself of the burden of stress and missions and remember that heaven is here! Right in front of you!
