"Sifting Through the charred remains of my heart.. during the initial shock phase of my divorce...." I was at a Yoga class one morning, feeling weak, insecure and "unwanted".... that really yucky, repulsive feeling that you think will never go away, when suddenly I became aware of a particularly pathetic song that kept running through my head. I felt even more vulnerable and saddened when I realized that I had been audibly singing the words to this self-defeating song, over and over without realizing it! I had been repeating the lyrics, "well, it's crying time again....he's gonna leave you...." (and I COULD tell by that far away look in his eyes!") I was horrified by those pathetic words, determined to stop that subliminal "loser" self-talk (or "self-sing") when, suddenly, I heard another old, familiar song playing in the gym. As I heard, Gloria Gaynor belting out "I Will Survive," I gratefully implanted that melody, those words, into my mind, as the antidote for my previous self-defeating, masochistic theme song! (Google the lyrics to this song, and you'll find yourself humming, & singing happily, even bringing a smile to your face at times - it's incredible and a wonderful way to tap into your existing remaining power. )
