Have you ever been right on the edge of a positive emotional breakthrough? Did you get to the other side?

And if you did get there, what kind of work helped you? Writing? Talking to someone? Talking to yourself?

I feel like I’m right on the edge of understanding something that could bring some very positive things to my life. Particularly my marriage, but my emotional life in general as well. It feels like I’m trying to catch a dancing fairy who keeps escaping! I want to catch these thoughts and make them more solid. A part of me is scared to do that work. I struggle with an odd thing that I call fear of success. Yet, I know the right thing is to get at those ideas and make them my reality.

Have you been in this kind of place? How did it go for you? And is there hope for me?

I’m headed for bed now, but will look forward to the collective’s responses tomorrow afternoon.

Props to Marinelife for recommending the book “Self Parenting. It’s part of how I’ve been more aware of these ideas.
