Surrender is something I've been practicing for many years. As much as I don't want to admit it, I'm a control freak but I know I can't control anything or anyone outside of myself. The only thing I have control over is the way I react and respond to what's happening around me.
Surrender sets me free of my fears and I practice by going to the worst case scenario and asking myself, can I live with that? The answer is always yes because most the time I'm just tellling myself scary stories. Scary stories are always worse then what usually happens but when I get caught up in them, they become very real for me and I have a physical reaction. I tense up, get headaches, and feel irriatable.
I know I can always change the story in my head and that will give me peace. I breathe in and practice acceptance and then I'm free.
