Learn from them do not deny them

Negative emotions are a necessary part of life and they should be managed and learned from, not avoided or denied. Mark Hanson
I run from feeling sad, I do, I run from it like Usain Bolt on a running track. Any feeling that lowers my vibration I don't want to be around it, I avoid it, hoping that it will pass and I will just go back to my normal old happy self. What used to happen is, I would skip over it, bottle it and ignore it. It would come back again like a Mac Truck and hit me - HARD. I would start the run again as soon as it returned and so the cycle went. Never stopping once to deal with it. 
The challenge with that is when shit hits fan, it splatters!!
What I have learnt is to Feel. Deal.Heal is the formula
Feel the feelings, feel it all - they are guides, they point you in a direction that will lead you to a healing
Life is about balance and seasons, it's not personal, it's just life
Every experience is a guide to your highest self
I thought that being sad or mad or tired or sick or just in a funk meant that something was wrong with me, that I had to fix it it. Nope - I had to learn from it, feel it, sometimes embrace it. It is just part of the equation called life. Every time I followed the feeling I came out on the other side lighter, with a sense of confidence that helped me for another time and another season.
I have learnt that I can take some time and feel it- that is perfectly okay to feel the feelings.
Not dwell or live in it but feel it, deal with it and heal it
Feelings buried alive don't die, they fester
Feel it
Feel it all
you come out on the other side fresh - so fresh and so clean
Peace

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
