Just Go With It
While we try to avoid, overcome, and conquer problems, James Hillman said, "Go with the symptoms."
Instead of asking, "How can I get rid of this?" he encouraged us to ask, "How can I go further into this problem and find myself relieved and happier on the other side?"
Hillman quoted Wallace Stephens, "The way through the world is more difficult to find than the way beyond it."
Instead of trying stressing about or trying to avoid a challenging situation, get to know it.
Move into it.
Learn about it from several viewpoints.
Ask what would a bird of prey do?
How might humor help?
When you move into your situation with a creative approach, you will find relief.
