We each create so much unnecessary suffering for ourselves. We may not be able to prevent the feeling, but we do have the power to control our reaction to it. We will all of us have our hearts broken at some point in our lives. People leave when we want them to stay. We feel rejected and abandoned. That blissful fantasy of a future we had hoped for suddenly fallen to ruin. All our shame and insecurities, those worst things we think about ourselves now defining our days. And we believe them, those chattering voices that simply won't quiet down. It's a feeling unlike any other. It can be all-consuming, maddening. Even worse, studies have shown it can be detrimental to our physical health. But it doesn't have to be this way.
