a God box?

yep. a wise friend recommended i begin utilizing a "God box". no, the idea is not to put God into a box. (how silly would that be? who does that?)

instead, the idea is to take a box that is meaningful to you (from a cigar box, shoe box, wooden box or even a cereal box, but preferably nothing like a coffin or refrigerator box) and transform it into a somewhat-message-center.

here's a scenario. let's say i have a fret. i know it's a fret because i constantly think about it, worry about it, wonder about it. now, i can write down what i am fretting about (with as much specificity as possible) and place it in the box.

this placement is symbolic of me giving myself the 'ok' to let go of the fret. in essence, it is as if i am putting my fret into the hands of a loving universe or "God." if i simply can't go without worrying about the fret, i can retrieve the dated piece of paper from the box and ruminate on it for a few minutes...only to allow myself to let it go when the time (two minutes) is up.

supplies needed:
box
pen/pencil/marker
scrap paper

remember:
date the paper
be specific
try out a willingness to let go of unnecessary ruminating
just do it

try something which might absolutely increase the quality of your life.
i dare you.
