I got myself thinking

I gave another coaching session yesterday. And it got me thinking. We all know the saying that time is a healer. Usually, at the point when someone tells us that things will get better with time (e.g. heartache or mourning), we simply cannot see it. Or we might logically know that it will indeed get better but don't seem to be able to really take it on board and FEEL it.

Thinking of the smaller things in life that upset and annoy us - what if we would really KNOW at that point in time, that we will have forgotten about it all in just a few hours, days etc. Would that help us change our reaction to it? Why does our brain like to blow things out of proportion? Do we all want drama in our lives? Does it make us feel more alive if we feel that there is stuff going on? Do we maybe prefer the big emotions even if they are fear and anger as opposed to not having any emotions? Or emotions just at a simmering level and not the big, all consuming flames?
