That introduces resistance into the equation, and resistance keeps me stuck to it. If I&#8217;m actively avoiding her, that&#8217;s a pushing-against. That&#8217;s no fun and it&#8217;s unproductive. However, if I can easily and repeatedly place my attention elsewhere with intense interest, that is the magic charm that removes her from my experience. &#8220;<em>How can you do that when it&#8217;s your mother in law?&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Easy, if you&#8217;re serious about wanting to remove her from your experience. Social convention aside, it&#8217;s always your choice where to place your attention. Sure, it may cause an argument with your husband and other family who want you to do otherwise. Then you have to deal with them. Make sure you&#8217;re not biting off more than you can chew. My choice would be to instead ask for guidance to see the situation with new eyes, to see a way you can flow harmoniously with whatever is happening so it is no longer an irky experience for you.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/if-you-cant-ignore-an-existing-reality-morph-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=If you can&#8217;t ignore an existing reality, morph it&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/if-you-cant-ignore-an-existing-reality-morph-it\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/if-you-cant-ignore-an-existing-reality-morph-it\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/if-you-cant-ignore-an-existing-reality-morph-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=If%20you%20can&#8217;t%20ignore%20an%20existing%20reality,%20morph%20it&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/if-you-cant-ignore-an-existing-reality-morph-it\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to finally living.&#8221;\u00a0A friend turned me on to the quotes of\u00a0Yasmin Mogahed.
