MeadowLark answered Thursday October 21 2004, 9:11 pm: It's not as bad as you think, I am the same kind of person, it only drives me mad when i let it...I don't know about you but I have to be very bored to dwell on all those little things that you think went wrong or could have been done differently...I also...even though it took sooooooo much patience, started meditating just for maybe a minute of my day, during a boring class lecture or something...just breath really deeply and slowly...but not loud enough for you to hear it, and count your breathes, every time you start to think of something else just stop counting, and then start again but try to make your counting in your head louder than your very annoying thoughts that are driving you crazy...oh! and it takes awhile to do this...but dont think about what your doing while your meditating or it will make you think more...just try it...i hope it might help [ MeadowLark's advice column | Ask MeadowLark A Question ]

I wished I had done something this way or that or said this or that then I would be that person that I want myself to be. It's tough, but I guess the only thing I've learned to do is if I can't stop obsessing over that situation, then put something positive to it. For example: "Oh man, if I added this to what I said to her I would have sounded tougher and she would never say anything to me again" then think, "well, I really can't change that moment, so I did the best I could in that situation within my surrounding circumstances under pressure and I'm sure she wishes she said things differently as well because she sure sounded like a jerk!" Also in some circumstances things can be fixed by confronting the same person involved in the situation and patch up whatever needed mending. But it's hard to force yourself to stop obsessing over a little something so just try to put something positive to it. Whatever you get through you get through stronger. You are always a better person with every situation you emerge from. It's all good. [ ICE11BLUE's advice column | Ask ICE11BLUE A Question ]
