Day 27 "I Remember You, But I Don't Miss You" #ONYOURMIND Share & Let's Live! #Podcast Series w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist "When pleasant memories from our past resurface, we often forget what it was about the connection that caused the disconnection." — Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist Sometimes we find ourselves in cycles with people. We connect, it's awesome, something happens, we disconnect, time passes, we miss them or they reach out, we reconnect, and the cycle repeats. I've done it too many times. I've even initiated the cycle.... plenty of times. I missed them. I reached out. And it was good... until it wasn't. I'm so done with that cycle. If it's over, I'm letting it stay that way. I had to teach myself that there's a difference between missing someone, and remembering them. To me, "I miss you," means I want you back in my life. So, now, when I catch myself reminiscing, and that affirmation, "I miss him/her/them," comes up, I correct myself. No, "I remember them." I might wish that the good aspects of who they are, or what we shared, could be back in my life, but the reality is that they don't show up with just the good. All of it's part of them. They're not cutting off a part of themselves, or their personality, or their tendencies. We're getting all of it. And if I don't want all of it, I don't want none of it. Stay over there. Today's podcast episode is one that's been in the works for a while.... The message has been in my mind for some time, but recent events gave me the missing piece to really drive this concept home. It's a good one. If you've never listened, or even if you have before, this is a good time to check out my podcast. Summer is coming, the weather is changing, and the chance of running into people from the past is increasing. If you have a tendency to rerun relationships, this one's for you. And if you have a friend/family/co-worker who tends to do this, share it with them. I think it can help. mdillondesigns.com/blog Check it out my podcast, Share & Let's Live! w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist, on #SoundCloud #AmazonMusic #Audible and #WordPress daily!
